Is commenting on blog entries a good idea? Do you comment or "Like" most blog entries you read? Should there be a "Don't Like" option?

Okay, this is another extra entry, but it's something I want to address. In fact, I have thought about writing a blog entry just to discuss my thoughts on blog comments, so this prompt is great. Why didn't I pick this prompt for one of my three entries? I wanted to save it for later, silly.

Is commenting on blogs a good idea? Is commenting on anything a good idea? I say, "Yes, and yes!"

With blogs, the writer can turn comments off; if they have it turned on, I assume they want readers to comment. I cannot speak for anyone else, but unless someone is trashing me in the comments, I enjoy receiving and reading them.

I do understand, however, time is a limited commodity and there isn't always enough available to write comments, I myself run into this quite often. Other times, I read the blog but just cannot think of anything to write in the comments. It's not that I didn't enjoy reading it or disagree with it, I just come up blank.

This is where the "Like" function comes in handy. I can click like and let the reader know I read it and enjoyed it. I don't think we need a "Don't Like" option but to have a few to choose from like the Newsfeed comments would be nice.

Why not a "Dislike"? Because if a person doesn't like what they are reading or what's being disclosed, they shouldn't be finishing the blog anyway. But, that's just me. Perhaps others would like something to show they didn't care for the blog; maybe a thumbs down, or even better a simple "Meh" option.
