One of the key points that stuck in my brain was to always be specific. This made me think of not only being specific when making suggestions, but to be more specific in my blog posts. I plan to add more detail and more links to other sites that support my ideas, as well as use more resources other than just those assigned to our class. By doing so, I hope to make my classmates job of peer editing my blog much easier, as well as, hopefully set an great example of what an exemplary blog should look like.
In addition to being specific, another useful thing that I learned was to definitely stay positive when commenting on another person's blog. Of course, in a perfect world, everyone would agree to everything that each other thought and hold hands singing Hakuna Matata, but the reality is, some people just think differently than others and they should not be harshly criticized or ridiculed for that. Some people may also be at more of a disadvantage than others, so I plan to keep in mind that no one has the same background as anyone else, nor do I know what someone may be going through. Hopefully many others take on this mindset when they view the blogs of others.
