Just to prove a point
As a novice luddite comment-or here on digitalmediatree I will just chime in with my two cents…
I would be pretty voiceless here without comments, to say the least. But I think I understand that someone would feel instinctively protective about their blog - and certainly rude or thoughtless remarks would encourage the desire to keep it contained in some way. How do you keep it in control? I guess the ideal would be to be not ‘popular’? Or to stay very specific? Do you want as many people as possible to see your posts? Or just people 'like' you? It seems to me though - and I apologize that this I am sure seems rudimentary - that there is a big difference between blogs that talk or yell versus those that have conversations. Mr. Wilson, sally mckay and tom moody have spoken recently about the idea of the blog very eloquently – it has helped me understand some things. (Although for sure I have no idea what 'trackbacks' or 'reference tracking' is :-)
