Comment notification

In my last message, I wrote that I expect each of you to read the comments I write on your blogs and to respond to them. I have just learned that you can receive e-mail notification when someone writes a comment on your blog. Here's how to do it.

First, when you are looking at your blog, click on the "B" in the upper left-hand corner.

Then click on "Settings" ("設定" in Japanese).

Next, click on "Comments."

Then, scroll down until you see "Comment Notification Email" ("コメント通知メール" in Japanese). Type the address or addresses to which you want the notification to be sent. I suspect that many of you will choose to have the notification sent to your mobile phone address.

Have you read my comments?

I have been writing comments on each of your posts. Some of you have responded to my comments (either with comments of your own or in your next post). However, I suspect that many of you have not even read the comments I have written. You are required to read my comments and, from now on, I will also require that you write some kind of response to each of my comments.

I posted about where to find the comments and how to post your own comments in my message called "Comments." By sure to read that.

You are also required to read everything I have written on my blog. I often have to tell students to read about how to post on my blog because it seems they have not yet done so and, therefore, do not understand how I want them to post. To be honest, I'm beginning to get a little tired of this.

If you like, you can write on your own blog about what you have read on my blog. Of course, if you find words on my blog that you do not know, you can look them up and write a little about them on your blog, just as you would do when you read something else. And, I would be very happy if you would write comments directly on my blog by clicking the "comments" button.

Comments

I've been writing comments in the blogs of the people who have posted so far. I may not be able to comment on every post in the future, but I would like to post comments from time to time. In this post, I will explain where to find comments that other people have posted on your blog and how to post your own comments on other people's blogs (or, on your own blog).

First, please click here to view Lilo's blog. If you scroll down to the bottom of her message entitled "The bitaba bird" you should see the following:



The "1 コメント" that you see means that one comment has been posted in response to this message. If you click on the "1 コメント" link, you will see my comment:



On the same page, you will also see a place where you can post your own comment:



I hope that all of you will read the comments that are posted on your blogs and also post comments on the blogs of other members of this class.
