I have been reading about Comment Challenge 08. In fact I heard about it while listening to Dave Noble’s excellent podcast, Booruch, . It’s a bit late to get started on this, since it’s been running since 1st May, but I am going to have a go, and follow my own time frame, commencing on 25th May. The idea is to encourage us to become better bloggers, by focusing a bit more on what we actually post and the kinds of comments we write. There’s some excellent material on Sue Waters blog, and also on a dedicated wikispace:
http://commentchallenge.wikispaces.com . There are plenty of ideas, here are some:

1. Set up a plan for tracking your comments–use CoComment or another tool.
2. Comment at a blog where you’ve never left a comment before.
3. Find three new bloggers and leave comments for them.
4.Comment on a blog post you don’t agree with.
5.Respond to another commenter on a post.
6.Find three bloggers that are not related to your normal niche and leave comments.
