Today I decided to break out of the usually finance related topics and mention a new find that I just realized while trying to post a comment on a site that had the comment box a bit too small.

You see, I ended up writing a comment that was almost as long as the original post (which I rarely do), and I was having a hard time reading it.  As I always do (now anyway), to make sure what I typed made sense.

Comment Tip 1

So after getting frustrated, I noticed that in the lower right hand corner of the comment box there was a bunch of dots in a group.  Well the first thing I did was copy my lengthy comment (see Comment Tip 2 below) so I wouldn’t lose it by trying something I never did before.

So I hovered my mouse of the dots and my mouse changed into a diagonal double-headed arrow.  Such an arrow means that I can resize the comment box (Booyah!).  Since the comment too a long time to write, I opened a blank notepad session and copied my comment text into it, just to make sure (yes I got burned before)!

After resizing the window, it was a simple matter of re-reading my comment to make sure my minor comment masterpiece was golden, then clicking the submit button!

Comment Tip 2

I always press the keys “control-a” to select everything, then type “control-c” to copy everything

Comment Tip 3

Always fill in the link option in the comments settings area.  If you don’t, you’ll losing potential traffic.

Comment Tip 4

Write either an intelligent, witty or enhancing comment to the blog site that you are visiting.  By “enhancing comment” I mean a comment that adds additional information to help the readers.  But not an external link!!!

Comment Tip 5

Don’t embed a link in your comment (if you know how to).  I did this initially when I started because I didn’t realize it was wrong.  Needless to say, a lot of my comments were deleted…  Don’t make this mistake!

I hope you find these commenting tips beneficial!

Cheers,

MR
