I think building a PLN is just another avenue for collaboration with colleagues. I've gotten some of my best ideas for the classroom through discussions with other teachers. Belonging to a PLN will make it that much easier to stay in contact with other educators in the language arts field.
My favorite hint for commenting on a blog was about inviting comments. I never really thought about the need to make your blog post sound "inviting" to others. However, after reading about it I realized that in all my online communications I tend to react best to those that seem friendly and willing to share. Others, who appear to be reporting the facts end up leaving little room for others to feel brave enough to jump in. I'm hoping I can learn to be a friendly blogger like the blogs I enjoy the most.
In an effort to practice my commenting abilities, I've commented on Dorothy Bean, Math Rules at BHE, Blogging and BHE, The Book Nook, and Science Rocks. I've mostly commented on their blog layout and vokis because they are what little skills I have any knowledge about. I'm still not brave enough to venture out and comment in any type of deep thinking way...maybe one day...
