Great Find: Commenting on CTBizBlogs by Sabine
Type of Article: How-to and Informational
Permalink: Commenting on CTBizBlogs by Sabine
Target Audience: Pros who want a model; Beginners who want information

Content: Successful and Outstanding Blogger, Sabine at CTBizBlogs, has written a top-notch document on how the comment feature serves in community building, pointing to Joel Achenbach’s Achenblog and Successful Blog as examples. She explains how Shirley Frazier’s comments led her to discover another great find Shirley’s Solo Business Marketing Blog. She also provides a straight-forward statement of her blog’s comment policy (a great model) and a how-to comment section that any new blogger could follow. Sabine does this so well, I wish she were writing software manuals, because then I might actually read them.

While you’re at CTBizBlogs, check out all you can. Everything that Sabine writes is quality, well-thought business advice.

    [...] Today at WashingtonPost.com, Joel Auchenbach responded on his Auchenblog in to our discussion of Sabine’s article on his commenting community in our post Great Find: Commenting on CTBIZBlogs. Mr. Auchenbach began by saying: The Boodle is the buzz of blogworld. At CTBizBlogs, Sabine writes about “the amazing community that’s sprung up in the comments” of the A-blog. (She heard about it from Stephen Baker in his Blogspotting column for Business Week; Baker took note of the large number of comments about the dog-pee item written by Tom Shroder.) She writes, “When readers leave comments on most blogs, the comments are usually about that particular post â€â€? people weighing in with additional information, questions, corrections, opinions. But the comments on some posts here read almost like they’re from discussion forums, with regular readers referring to comments made by other readers in past posts. The conversation weaves in and out of the posts and comments, and swirls around the various personalities who now know each other, online at least.” . . . [...]
