\"\"<\/a> Ok, so we’re on what, Day 10? And I am still thinking about Day 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the thing: I’ve been falling behind because I am, on some level, not finding the Comment Challenge to be such a challenge.<\/p>\n

Let me explain. The purpose<\/a> of the Comment Challenge is to:<\/p>\n

. . . [become] better blog citizens . . . by actively participating in conversations and [share] your learning, especially with those new to blogging . . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And I get that, I really do. That is, in fact, why I signed up for the challenge. Indeed, I even was initially intimidated by the challenge:<\/p>\n

And I even understand the purpose<\/a> of the Daily Activities, which is to<\/p>\n

challenge our thinking, writing and . . . aid in the process of becoming better commenters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But here is my problem: I think I am already a good commenter, without the Daily Activities.
\nTask 1<\/a> was a good starting place, and definitely uncovered some areas for me that I need to focus on in my commenting. Basically, after the Self-Audit I felt more mindful of how I make my presence understood as I go about life in the online world, interacting with people who have never met me. I realized that at times, my tone is unclear and perhaps not accurate, and so I have been more cognizant of what I say and how I say it.<\/p>\n

Tasks for Days 2 through 6 were things that were not unusual for me — i.e., I do these things anyway<\/strong>, fairly regularly. So I didn’t really, officially, do them as part of the Comment Challenge.1<\/sup><\/a> <\/sup>And then I got to Day 7 (even though today is Day 10) and thought, Hmm… what am I really learning here?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
