always learning

Woohoo! We’re already rolling with the Comment Challenge! We have 27 participants in just 24 hours!

And everyone was so generous to sign up without even knowing how to participate!

And did you notice our fabulous logo courtesy of Silvia Tolisano?

What a great network of blog citizens we have already!

So, on to the crucial question: How can you participate in the Comment Challenge?

Step 1: Sign up on the wiki (this is a public wiki, so you don’t actually need to be a member to add your name – but you are more than welcome to join!)

Step 2: Sign up for an account on coComment (free, of course)

Step 3: Add the coComment extension to make it easy to track your conversations (if you have any trouble with this extension try clearing your cache, it worked like a charm for me)

Step 4: RSS your conversations in coComment so you can keep track of your comments easily (see screenshot below)

Step 5: Join the Comment Challenge group in coComment

Step 6: Share your conversations with the group (Sue is working on a detailed howto for that step right now)

Done!

The coolest thing about this coComment group is that it will track all of the comments for all of the people that are members – so we can actually follow all of the conversations that get started because of this challenge. And, we can discover all the excellent new blogs that are getting other participants thinking. We will host the RSS feed for the Comment Challenge group on the wiki so everyone can keep track.

We’re also looking for quick activities to promote excitement about commenting and help us all become better blog citizens – thanks to Michele for that brilliant idea! If you have any activity ideas, please share them here, or on the Activities page of the wiki.

Two more days to go!
