You should review all of the blogs on this aggregator. When you find a blog of interest, you should add your own comments. Make sure the comments are sensible. Remember, anyone can read them, and the blogger can also comment on your blog.

Task 2
You should comment on at least 3 blogs from your class.

Getting a blogger to link to your blog [[image:chain.jpg width="80" height="30"]]
A good way to drive traffic to your blog is to have another blogger link to your blog. The best way to do this is to this is to email the blogger and tell them how much you enjoy their blog. They will hopefully then visit your blog, and, if they like what they read, they may link to your blog. You cannot force a blogger to link to your blog.

Do not leave a comment on a blog asking for a link to your blog. Do not email a blogger asking for a link to your blog. These are both regarded as showing poor manners, and the blogger will probably just ignore your request. You can always link to the blog from your blog, but of course there is no guarantee that the blogger will be made aware of the link.

Task 3
Try and get at least one link to your blog from another blog
