By allowing numerous people to communicate via the web, blogging has made it easier to become a part of a larger group. Following and commenting on blogs helps the users feel a sense of community. The interaction between bloggers and those that comment also adds to the sense of community. Blogs give people an opportunity to find, and communicate with, others who are interested in the same topics or issues. The "Cool-Cat Teacher" blog shared some very interesting recommendations. Commenting on someone else's blog can help you gain viewers to your own blog, as long as you draw attention to it in your comment. Good advice, especially if you want reach more people with your own blog. Another interesting point made on the same website involves commenting etiquitte and encourages teachers to "teach commenting." I've always believed there needs to be a font for sarcasm, many feelings could be spared. The "10 Techniques to Get More Comments" blog had some great pointers. "Be open-ended" and "make it easy to comment" are two pointers that would encourage comments. I also liked the "be humble" and the "be gracious" recommendations. I think everyone should strive for these in all areas of their lives.
Blogs I am following include:

I liked your statement about having sarcasm listed as required font. It was quite cleaver. Then, all the reader would need to do is delete the non-constructive font from the screen immediately before ever beginning reading information listed on the site. Constructive criticism helps the writer improve his site and thought pattern, without destroying his enthusiasm.
