If your comment gets PUBLISHED, that means that you had no errors, the right punctuation, and most of all, you gave at least two details about the post you're writing about. Also, if your comment gets rejected, that means that you didn't put in the right punctuation, you didn't capitalize the letter in the beginning of the sentence. Like this: oh your post is great and i love the way you made the post! it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is what you don't want to write in a comment, or else it will get REJECTED, and you don't want that to happen. I think probably at least ten of my comments got published on Mrs. Yollis' blog, and I would say that two got rejected. What my teacher Mrs. Yollis, does is, whenever a comment gets published, the person that sent in that comment sticks a sticker onto a poster.
How many of your comments got published?
How many didn't?

Dear Kayla,
I really like this post, Publishing and Rejecting. Also, I don't know how many comments I got rejected and published, but I think I have more published comments.

Dear Kayla,
I really like this post you made about commenting. First of all, I like the content. You gave a great example of what makes for an outstanding comment and what might make for a poor comment.
Visually, I like your use of color and font size. Making the words Published and Rejected really big was a feature I liked. The words pop out of the post, and I think it looks pleasing. It also helps deliver your message. The color choices you made were also effective. Each sentence is a different color. Nice!
Finally, I love your use of hyperlinks! It is helpful for readers to have hyperlinks just in case they want to learn more about something.
Moderating comments is a big responsibility for bloggers. We want thoughtful conversations to occur, and we want people to feel comfortable leaving a comment. Readers are human (unless they're spam!) and make errors. If we expect perfection from everyone, they may not want to comment again. It is tough making those choices, no?
I think our class does a fantastic job with content, capitalization, and punctuation. Almost everyone uses the preview button to proofread the post before publishing. That final step makes all the difference!
Terrific work, Kayla!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Yollis
Dear Kayla,
I really enjoyed this post because commenting is something I am teaching my students about at the moment!
Most of my students hadn't heard of a blog until three weeks ago so I am still being lenient and not rejecting comments yet however I will have to soon!
I laughed when I saw your pretend comment "oh your post is great and i love the way you made the post! it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Many people leave comments like this and it doesn't really add anything to the post does it?
Thanks for a great post!

@ Mrs. Yollis,
First of all, thanks for all the compliments! You're right. It is good to put in at least one hyperlink in your post, and as you said, "They're helpful for your readers". I think moderating comments is a big responsibility too!
@ Miss McGeady,
Thanks so much for a thoughtful comment! It really means a lot to me.
Did your students really not know of a blog before they entered your class?
Yours truly,
Kayla :)
P.S. Nice HTML code, Mrs. Yollis!
Dear Kayla,
It's true. There are only a couple of students who knew what a blog was before they came into my class! There are a lot of teachers who don't know much about blogging too!
People like us will have to teach them!
Sincerely,
Miss McGeady
Hi Kayla
Thanks so much for leaving a comment on our blog. I'm glad you liked out post about Hats for Haiti Day. We all had a lot of fun.
You seem to be becoming quite an accomplished blogger! Your page looks great! I'm hoping to encourage a few of my students to start a blog in the second half of the year.
I need to get on to my students about using capital letters in their writing blog correctly. I teach them, and teach them, but they always forget! Any ideas on how I can make them remember?
Love Mrs N (from The Smarties)
Dear Kayla,
I think it was a very smart idea to make a post to tell your readers about moderation. What inspired you to write it, or did you just want to alert your manifold of visitors.
Sincerely,
Ben
@ Ben,
~Thanks for a great 2-point comment~!
To answer your question, I just wanted to alert readers that if they write a comment like this:oh your post is great and i love the way you made the post! it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, it would be rejected.
Sincerely,
Kayla :)
Dear Kayla,
I enjoyed your post on publishing and rejecting. It will be very helpful if someone wants to know how to properly write a comment. You gave a really good example of what not to do when leaving a comment and of what to do. Anyone who reads your post can learn how to comment the right way. Also, it is great that you have had 10 of your comments published. Keep up the good work.
Your friend from UCO,

@ Nick,
Thanks for your comment!
On the poster in our classroom, I noticed that you have filled two rows already, and now your on your third row. That is so cool! I'm on my second row right now.
@ THE SMARTIES,
It was my pleasure to write a comment to you!
Thanks for saying that I'm becoming quite an accomplished blogger! That's very sweet of you. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Sincerely,
Kayla :)
