Giving comments is a way for bloggers to connect with each other, besides doing link love via memetags and other blog-related tasks that link blogs together.
Commenting in blogs can be done even if the person writing down a comment does not have a blog.
Having comments is what makes blogging special, for these are feedbacks, which can be immediate or even if it is not so immediate, that makes the blogger feel that he/she was able to reach out, whether positively or negatively.
Are there rules when it comes to writing down comments? These are unwritten rules, if I may say so, depending upon the commenter’s set of real-life values and online behavior.
For me, these are some of the rules I observe whenever I write a comment to other blogs or reply to comments sent to my blog. Click here to continue reading.

A memetag is a blog tag in a blog post that is comprised of tasks including answering random or associated questions. If a memetag asks the tagged bloggers, meaning the bloggers who were sent the tasks, to “Name your top five pet peeves” then that is what the blogger would do. After doing the task, the blogger would then recognize where the memetag came from by including the link of the blogger who tagged him/her.
It is important to include and recognize the blogger who invited the other blogger to participate in the task. It is also important to recognize the initial creator of the meme. Why? Because the initial creator of a particular memetag has a purpose in creating the meme and he/she should be able to track how the meme has grown and recognized, and how many players participated.
So how would the initial creator would be able to do that? By participants linking their posts back to the blogger who asked them to do the memetag and participants linking back to the blog of the initial creator.
Sadly, the initial creator somehow gets lost along the way because a lot of bloggers do not follow the particular rules included in the memetag.
Some tips on how to do memetags can be read here.

Tagging.
A tag is a relevant keyword that is associated with information like a blog entry, video, map and/or photo. Tagging is used to be able to classify keyword-based search of information.
One of the more popular indexing is creating tags to categorize contents according to the key words. More often tag clouds are used to be able to visualize the content in a certain site, specifically that of a personal blog. Tagging makes it easy to have posts found by other people who either made thee posts or found by people looking for these key words. So finding related content is now easier.

Linking is important when citing a source when second-hand or even third-hand information was from another site.
If I would like to go to a particular blog, I will link only to the blog’s URL TeacherJulie. But if I there is a need to deep link to a specific page in this particular blog, I will link Festival Of Light and this will take the one who clicked the link to the particular post about Christmas Lights.

A picture is worth a thousand words, according to a proverb that has the idea of pictures telling complex stories more than text can tell.
Sure, words can take one to a different level, living the story woven in the string of words but a picture, well, a picture can definitely awaken the senses more.
As we sit under the shade of the trees looking out at the sea before us, a soft gentle breeze carrying a whiff of sea scent briefly touched our sunburned faces. Such tranquility, such calm. This is a welcome respite from the din of the city and the pressures of work weighing heavily down my shoulders.
