Writing comments on blogs is something that needs to be taught just like any other writing skill.
The technique that I have used in my year 3 class to great effect is to teach the children using this checklist to first comment using sticky notes on work around the classroom walls. Then once they realise the power of giving and receiving genuine comments I send them off to comment on blog posts, first on our own class blog and then on other blogs.
