Title: Improving our Comments

Blog Entry: We have lots and lots to do today so let's get busy blogging!
First things first -- check your comments. As you finish checking
your comments, start composing your new and improved post on your
introduction. Remember, you are recreating your original post using
all the things you have learned so far with the six traits of writing -
Ideas and Content & Word Choice. You should add lots more details to your post. Do not use overused words!
After you finish with your post, I want you take a few minutes to
read and comment to your favorite blogs. Many of you express how much
you love receiving comments on your weblog. Comment starters for us to try out:
