Bloggers' etiquette

As I mentioned in class, some future assignments will involve you writing comments to classmates' blog posts. I also encourage you to leave unassigned comments on your own if you find people's entries thought-provoking.

For any and all comments, though, let's follow good blog etiquette: primarily keeping a respectful and appropriate approach to our writing. Profanity is considered inappropriate, as is criticizing a person--posting your differences is absolutely encouraged, but articulate your different readings/interpretations/ideas in relation to others' ideas rather than in opposition to them as people.
