And I am starting to use the blog with my students. Since my students are pretty young (10 years old) I decided to create a school blog, where each of them can contribute by posting comments related to the topic of the week. Sooooo, I wonder if you can help me with the following issue. Yesterday my students were posting their comments in their categorie (each team has a category with the name of their team) The comments were related with 1. Starting to share..., but after 7 or 8 comments, when they wanted to post it and click submit comment, a blank page appeared with the message of slow down..what does this means? I am new to blogging, as you can see, and I will appreciate your help on this issue, I plan to use my blog by posting comments from students around the world, but it seems it only let us a certain amount of comments..am I right? How can I improve this? On the other hand, how can I work that the comment each team post only appears on their respective category and not in all the teams catergories? Any suggestion for making the most of my blog is very welcome.!! Thanks a lot!! Hi Sue,

I probably need to write a follow up posts on why it happens and tips like yours. @tilgunas, Good point and I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this again lately.

We often get the message: You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down. Then their comment is gone when they go back! So...I teach up-front about the importance of copying their comment before they submit. This protects them if their comment doesn't go through for any reason! There's always a few who learn the hard way, but most do copy, and we can save them from the dreaded re-write when it doesn't go through.

Perhaps the next time we run a competition you might win an Edublogs supporter so you can have threaded comments? Hi Lauren, I use threaded comments which is a feature of Edublogs supporter.

I teach third grade and this is how I taught the skill to my students this year. http://www.myteacherpages.com/webpages/yollis/blogging.cfm?subpage=892494 Many discussion were had about what makes a good blog comment. We often used real comments that we received. That is the best way. Having students evaluate whether a comment has content or not is very helpful to the process. At the bottom of my link is a pdf to a worksheet I made. It is filled with fake comments. As a class, we read each fake comment and assessed whether it should be published or rejected. Hope it helps!

Always happy to provide ideas when I can. I really like using threaded comments. While it is harder for me sometimes to locate a new comment it does means that I can respond directly to each person. I can also change the number of threads each comment has so I can have lots of extra comments in response. That is how I like to tackle it. No problem re-patience. Always happy to provide ideas when I can.

Also - do you find that when a lot of people respond to one comment it is difficult to follow since there are no discussion threads? What do you feel is the best way to provide organization to responses? I am just curious if I would like people to provide a response and then respond to other responses...Is it pretty much just a box within a box etc... Thanks for your patience...just trying to figure it all out! Thanks – I will give it a try.
