Com’ ment`er n. 1. One who makes or writes comments; a commentator; an annotator.

I sometimes do the blogwalking and left some comments in another blogger’s blog. By the time, I visited my 20th something blog, I can’t even remember what comment I left on the first blog. If you cannot remember what comment you left in another person blog, how can the owner even remember your comment among many?

From now on i’m trying to be a Stealr Commenter on other blog. That’s a phrase i come up on my head to describe comments that can steal attention from the original blog (like movie’s scene stealer). Remember Rachel Maryam in Arisan?). How you do it? Well, I can think one or two things.

1. Add another missing angle from the original post. Have some facts to back it up and not just your opinion.
2. Single sentence is illegal. Write at least two or more lines and not some alternative of premium. Don’t make comment at all if you only need to left your fingerprint in someone else’s blog.
3. Write something different. A poem, something funny, something weird, writing that so in-your-face but still relevant to the post.

Today, a simple comment, tomorrow, a 400 pages books (with 1600 simple comment) =D.
