In the last issue we talked about moldable blogging.
In this issue we are discuss how you can deal with the
comments that are posted on your blog.
Most blogs allow visitors to the blog to post comments on
any of the blog posts. These comments may pertain to the
blog posting or may be completely unrelated. The comments
may also be positive or negative in nature. Regardless of the
type of comment left by a visitor you may choose to deal with
these comments in a number of different ways.
In this issue, we will discuss some of options for dealing
with comments on your blog. For instance you may answer
them, delete them or block individual visitors from leaving
comments altogether. You can also use administrative features
of your blog to require approval of the comments by before they
are posted on the blog. We will talk more about using
administrative features in just a minute.
- Let's start with answering the comments that are left on
your blog first.
When you receive a comment on your blog you may wish to
answer it. Most blogging programs allow you to post
comments on your own blog which enables you to easily answer
comments directly. With this feature you can deal with a number
of different situations including negative comments, positive
comments and questions. when you receive any negative
comment on your blog you may opt to answer the comment
directly with a rebuttal. This allows you the option to recognize
the criticism and defend your original post.
When you receive positive comments you may also wish to
answer the comments to thank the visitors for letting you know
that they enjoyed your post. Then there will be times when you
receive comments that ask a question about the blog, a specific
post or even about you. Of course you may also opt to answer
these questions so that you obtain develop a better relationship
with the readers of your blog.
- Now let's talk about blocking comments from
individual visitors.
Another option for dealing with blog comments which are negative
in nature is to block comments from individual blog visitors. In
most cases you will have the ability to block a particular user from
leaving comments on your blog. You may wish to use this option in
situations where the comments from the visitor are extremely
vulgar or mean spirited.
Some blogging platforms will also give you the ability to ban an
individual person or IP address from ever making comments again.
Especially if he or she has previously continues to post
inappropriate comments or if you believe that the comments
are being left as spam.
- Last but not least, let's talk about using the administrative
features on your blog to handle comments.
Still another option for dealing with comments on a blog
includes using administrative features to delete comments or
modify the settings to not allow comments to be displayed
until you approve them. You typically have the ability to delete
any comment left by one of your visitors. Deleting these
comments is usually a quite simple process. However, it is
not a completely effective method because other blog visitors
may have the opportunity to read these comments before they
are deleted.
Therefore, deleting the comment may prevent some visitors
from reading the comment but will not ensure the comment is
not seen by any of you or other blog visitors. However, there
is a way for you to make sure visitors do not read negative
comments. Most types of blogging platforms have the option
allowing you to approve all comments before they become
available to the public. This gives you the ability to delete a
comment before it is read by anyone. You can simply delete any
comments that you don't want others to read before the
comments are published.
This gives you complete control over what appears on your blog.
Of course there are other methods for this depending on which
blog platform you decide to use. Just do your research and you
will, be sure to find a simple solution for managing the comments
that are left on your blog.
Make sure you look for your next issue soon. We will be talking
about blogging for fun.
