We love to write and read blogs and we also like to receive comments and leave comments but are your comments leaving you a good or bad name?

People can perceive our emotions by the tone of our 'voice' when writing an article but they can also perceive our hostility when we leave negative comments on a blog as well.

Gina Trapani, Founding Editor of Lifehacker, Tips & Downloads For Getting Things Done, guides bloggers in her "Geek to Live: Lifehacher's Guide to Weblog Comments" to the do's and don'ts of leaving comments - What Does Your Online Name Say About You?

Remember that consumers are reading and see your name when you leave comments whether good or bad. Once you write something online, it remains written...

  

So before you write an article or a blog or leave a comment, think of what you are writing. Is it going to affect your reputation online? Spell checking is one thing, writing from an angry or hostile comment is another. Before you hit the key 'Enter' on your keyboard to leave a comment, remember that your NAME and your reputation is 'On-the-Line'

This is so true!  The spelling always gets to me.  Especially in a professional entry.  I've always thought about the "once you write something online it remains written" adage.  Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

Hi Diana,

This is very sound advice. It is always important to remember that you are typing and not actually speaking to the person in person. Hence, it is always important to word yourself carefully and be clear of your intentions.

Good information. All of us will have typos in our blogs from time to time. We should make our best efforts to have very professional posts.

Diana,  it is so true.  We have to remember this is a public forum, anybody can read our blogs and comments.  People judge us by reading what we write and carry ourself in our words, it can mislead to something different from what we intend to if we are not careful.
