"How to write a good comment" from Grammar Girl

Since many of you may choose to attend an "extra credit" event (like the film screening on 9/21) and follow-up by commenting on the blog, I wanted to offer some suggestions and guidelines about how to post an effective, useful comment. For this task, I've outsourced to "Grammar Girl"--a website created and hosted by Mignon Fogarty to provide "short, friendly tips to improve your writing." This site is a great resource in general, but the post that I'd like to highlight is on how to write a great comment. Please take a look, and use her tips as a guide for creating the perfect comment. Her reminder to "make a point," for example, is especially important for you all. Avoid summarizing the event or merely stating an opinion. Decide what it is you'd actually like to say before you hit "comment."
