So, Day 1 of the comment challenge was to audit one’s own commenting behaviour. This is relatively straightforward for me because I have not been at all active in the field. The challenge is:

• How often do you comment on other blogs during a typical week?
• Do you track your blog comments? How? What do you do with your tracking?
• Do you tend to comment at the same blogs or do you try to comment on at least one new blog per week?

Pre Day 1, I could honestly say that I had never commented, therefore never tracked comments. On Day 1 I signed up for CoComment (but still don’t know how to use it and don’t seem to be able to connect to the site either). I have also made a few comments, but more of the “how do I do this?” type of thing.

Because I thought my blog could get a visitor for the first time I rediscovered how to ftp to it, upgraded it and started the search for a new theme. I seem to have been busy with a little teaching and trying to find some paid work, so haven’t had that much time…but I have to say that I am pleased to have signed up and will try to hang on in there, even if it is only just.
