This is an example of a threaded comment.
Why am I putting a comment? Hmm… Why does anyone put comments? Oh, the questions that haunt me!
i have an answer to that question. on alternating Tuesday nights, a comment will be left to express an emotion or feeling. when the commenter is possibly intent on following someone’s blog, they may leave multiple comments. it’s a very detailed subject.
DOES ANYBODY UNDERSTAND MY LAST COMMENT? Cool blog Mrs. M-S
Thanks for answering my question! It was supposed to be a rhetorical question, but oh well, thanks anyway. Cool username!
Only four comments? Wait what are we commenting on? Huh? What?
For this reason and other reasons Mrs. Martin-Shaw’s blog is very nicely constructed.
2: its something to do hoping that people look at it and wonder who we are.
3: we have nothing better to do sadly…:(
Hello, I just felt like leaving a comment, cuz I’m awesome like that!!!
wow you have a lot of pages.

I was trying to put the pics on my Larry blog and it wouldn’t work! All I got was a whits box with a red “x” in it. Can you help me get my pictures on? If it won’t work, will I get marked down for the final project? If so, its not like I could really help it…
hey Mrs. MS, when you leave a comment on my blog, how do I respond to it?
Hey Mrs. MS,
thanks for the help with my blog!!!
I think it’s better to respond to a comment on the other person’s blog, so that the get an email waiting for them to moderate it, or if they click comments on their dashboard, it shows a list of the comments that are on their blog, from recent to past. (I do the second one)
I Just looked at my blog just now, and I realized that my Walden never got saved except for the title. HELP ME!!! I don’t know what to do!!!!
hey am i supposed to become a supporter on my blog?
what am i supposed to do for the bibliography for the writing contest? i just put some of my journal entries together.
I have a confession to make. Before today, my comments have been quasimeaningless. I like that word. But, since you gave me this college handout on commenting on blogs, I will now post important comments.
Well…. That wasn’t a very important comment. But thanks for the news flash!!
Thanks for all your support with everything. I was just wondering what the site you were telling me abount was called that i could get free pictures for my blog on.
thanks for the sites. and actually i don’t know if they are in our class. they just put that as their “help wanted” nickname for the advise. i made it like that so that i wouldn’t have the influence of knowing who the person was. my advise would then be better.
I don’t know where, but I found an awesome link somewhere on your blog to the Miniature Earth. This really opened my eyes to poverty in other nations, and how we must cherish what we have. our life, as Americans, is better than about 75% of the world’s populations.
Thanks! I enjoy expressing myself in writing and music more than any other way. I hate showing my feelings to everybody, but I know it’s not healthy to let it build up. Then I realized that this was the perfect way. It really give me a chance to express who I am, who I’m not, and who I wish I could be.
YES!!! I’m going to keep writing over the summer! I love it. I’ve had a great year with you and I’m sad to leave. I know that I’m going to be fine in high school though because I’ve learned so much this year. I can’t wait to visit you next year. You’re an amazing teacher! Next years students will be lucky to have you!
Hey! How are you? I miss you. I hope your classes are treating you well. Has much changed at all since I left? Anyhow, I hope I’m able to come visit sometime.
hey mrs. M-S!!!!! how’s the new school year???? sorry about all of the punctuation… i’m in a good mood today
Hey, Mrs. Martin-Shaw!!!

Hi, Mrs. M-S! =) How are you? I miss seeing you fifth period every day, but I hope you’re having fun with the new students this year!! I might be able to come and visit sometime, what day would be good? I was hoping a Wednesday or Thursday, we have an extra hour before school starts on Block Days. It’s really cool. Well, talk to you soon, hopefully! =)
