31 day comment challenge

The 31 day comment challenge is something that I’ve been meaning to write about and participate in since it started but I’m already 7 days behind. I first heard about it from Langwitches where there are already numerous posts about the activity.

The challenge is to essentially widen the range of comments and discussion in the edublogger arena - one of the keys to keeping your posts known is to tag them for technocrati with comment08 or include a link to that feed in your entry. There is also a list of participants on the wiki which will be a great source to find new blogs to follow - I’ll be adding my blog there and trying to participate as much as possible.

It’s okay with the challenge to do the tasks when it is convenient for you.  What I used to do for the 31 Day Blogging Project was do several tasks on the same day.

Commenting is not available in this weblog entry.
