Why You Should Comment on Life Goggles

Like most blogs, Life Goggles allows you, the honoured and loved reader, to make a comment on any post you read. But how do you do this, and more importantly, why would you do this?

Why comment?

Blogs are not like newspapers. They don’t have to be just read and discarded, they can be interacted with and there are many reasons why to leave a comment:

• To give your opinion, and it be heard.
• To provide further information.
• To provide a correction or update.
• To network with bloggers who are blogging on topics that interest you, and perhaps relate to your website.
• Point out a typo’s and grammatical errors….
• Draw attention to yourself - we might post about you or your site. Relevant links to other sites are encouraged, but not spam. We delete spam!
• We allow signatures in comments, as long as your comment is relevant, adds value and doesn’t link to a spammy website.

How to leave a comment

No registration is required, it’s easy! If you are on the home page, at the bottom of each post you will see this:

The Bookmark button allows you to save the post to popular bookmarking websites such as del.icio.us and Digg. If no comments have yet been made, “We love comments, want to make one?” will appear, or it will tell you how many comments have already been made. Clicking either of them will open the comments form.

Simply enter whatever name you wish to call yourself, then a valid email address, your website if relevant and then whatever comment you wish to make. You can also opt to be notified on any further comments on the post.

Why do we ask for an email address?

Don’t worry we won’t use this address to send you anything (unless it’s the same one you use to subscribe to our newsletter). Comments on Life Goggles are moderated, meaning they have to be approved before they are displayed. If you leave a comment with an email address that is approved, in future you won’t have to wait for your comment to be moderated, it will appear immediately! Also it allows you to be notified if any further comments appear (don’t worry, you have to opt-in to these emails). Finally it also helps us recognise if the comment is spam or a genuine comment.
