Please count me in on your challenge; so glad that at the end of these 30 days there will be more learning, more collaboration to anticipate. Thank you so much. PS I love your website; visually beautiful and engaging even before I begin to read. Engagement at every learning level.

I'm a little apprehensive about it, but I'm going to give it a try.

Maybe someone else can confirm or enlighten us on that issue. Check out Sue Water's <a href="http://theedublogger.edublogs.org/2008/05/02/how-keep-track-of-new-comments-on-other-bloggers%e2%80%99-posts/" rel="nofollow">tutorial </a> she posted on using CoComment @Kristi,

Dyer Fri, 02 May 2008 14:04:45 +0000 http://langwitches.org/blog/?p=1276#comment-25587 I am approaching this as a much-needed learning experience in addition to motivation for getting my edublog(s) rolling over the summer. Now if someone can point me in the direction of a crash course in 'blog post speak' and a tutorial on using coComments without installing it in a browser I'd be *most* grateful.

It is NOT all about publishing. It is about sharing your thoughts, encouraging others and most importantly (for me)about sorting through my own learning path and connect my thoughts and ideas. It is amazing to read posts from the end of last year. I like your word "author-awe" for describing how many of us feel. You are right, we did no grow up with that interactiveness of being able to question and author, instead we were confronted with the finality of a traditional book or article has on paper. We can also apply the "author-awe" label to many who are too afraid to "submit" a comment or post, because they do not feel they are good enough writers. They are intimidated by "real" authors or more experienced bloggers. We will need to jump over our own shadows. That is why I believe the Comment Challenge can be the catalyst for many of us to do just that. Try it and see what happens. Maybe in time we will not feel "author-awe". @Bill
