@suewaters I am wondering about how much flexibility there is in comments. How to add links, pics, etc.? #etmooc- @suewaters Adding within the comment/reply space. I have taken your msg about reading blogs & commenting to heart. Want to embellish #etmooc
@edublogs @suewaters Blogging Qs I still have. Using and properly citing images. Etiquette regarding carrying on a convo in comments.
@mrsdkrebs what challenges do you feel regarding etiquette in carrying on convo in comments?- @suewaters Well, I usually answer people back. Then send them a link. If I ask another Q is that good to carry on the convo, or too much?
