Today’s challenge was good as it made me go back to a programme called coComment which I had signed up for a while ago and never actually got around to using!
In today’s challenge we are reminded that leaving a single comment and then moving on isn’t the best way to engage in an ongoing conversation, or to use blog commenting as a way of learning. I have tried to keep track of some of the blogs where I do leave comments and then try to follow up to see if the blogger has responded back. But of course when I get busy, or sidetracked I forget where I’ve been and I don’t get back to what could end up being a very productive discussion. So my goal through this challenge is to keep using cocomment and see how more effective I can be. (BTW – from the 31 day Comment challenge – you can link to an excellent post by Sue Waters about how to sign up and manage your comments using coComment.
Welcome to the Comment Challenge. You are not the only person starting the Challenge I notice that Mrs Banjer is also starting so you may want to drop past.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any help with anything. I documented my journey with the Challenge is on my personal blog.

I just cant get my head around coComment so I continue to use co.mments. But having said that, I acknowledge that there isn;t the social aspect of co.mment that there is to cocomment.

Hi,
Thanks for commenting on the challenge and how cocomment can help you keep track of posts and conversations.
If you singed up a while ago chances are that we were tracking your conversations already so all you need to do is go to “myconversations” page and see your postings.
Sarah, I would love to show you around cocomment so you can join the challenge group we have there and contact all the other bloggers participating on the challenge.
You can reach me at joaquinatcocomment.com.
Or just let me know which aspect is it not clear to you.
Thanks
Joaquin

Hi Joaquin
hm.. I’m definitely doing something wrong as myconversations page was empty and even now i think I’ve managed to only get one conversation onto it! Ah well, back to the drawing board and reading the instructions!
