From Doug Johnson's Blue Skunk I enjoyed the definition, via the wikipedia hyperlink, of an internet "troll". Email has made us all experienced in being flamed, and the blogger is no different. As I read through Cool Cat by Vicki Davis, she had a hyperlink to Kathi Sierra's Creating Passionate Users, which is no longer updated due to anonymous threats in 2007 from a "troll".
Doug also mentions thanking those that comment, if possible, while Vicki says that if you are writing about another blogger's column in your own blog, provide the hyperlink to the original blog. She provided directions, but since the column was from 2006, the process may have been simplified.
I would like to keep track of the comments I have made to my "playmates", and both Vicki and Doug suggest Cocomment. I don't think I'll sign up for it at this time--my head is about to explode with everything I've signed up for.
And last of all, after reading Blogging Basics 101, I felt better about using my name in the blog.
