What do you do on a day off?
Ironically perhaps, I thought this was a pretty good question to ask of fellow commenters on the 31 Day Comment Challenge. It’s a day off for me since I’ve done all the tasks so far and we’re roughly half way through the challenge. Where did those days go to? So when you’re not blogging, what

Today’s 31 Day Comment Challenge asks that we turn the blog over to our readers. OK. I’m up for it. Here’s the task. I’m a voice coach a lot of the time. When I’m working with a class of actors, I’ll often ask them to ‘drop in a breath and to sigh out how they

Where to begin on this one? I seem to have done little apart from read comments this week, and then trackback to the blog posts that spawned them. That was an interesting exercise in itself, and as is the way of blogs, one of Tony Karrer’s recent posts on eLearning Technology tracked me back to

Image: thanks ifindkarma Day 11 and we’re getting into the pointy end part of the 31 Day Comment Challenge. Today we’re to write a comment policy for our blog. No, I don’t think so … not for me. This isn’t because I don’t think it’s a good idea to know and respect the boundaries of

OK. I think I probably sound like a ‘know it all.’ And I’m going to blame this on my day-job! I know I try not to sound this way … and I also try to avoid the sweeping statement that sets you up for a fall. I guess it’s a balancing act between sounding as

Image: thanks aslakr I’m also pondering the same question: whether or not ’tis better to respond via a blog post, acknowledge the stimulus, and create pingbacks, or to converse via comments. For me it depends on the nature of the post … its content and tone. Whilst I’m doing my best to rise to the

5 x 5 = 5: Are you kidding?
Image via Wikipedia So, 5 comments on each of 5 blogs … in 5 minutes? I’m reminded of speed dating here! Your comments have got to appear confident, thoughtful and not (heaven forbid) superficial. Wow! I set myself the task of leaving something that was focussed and hopefully, generative. So, I’ll let you judge for
