Welcome to my blog and thank you for visiting! Please remain respectful and polite at all times; let’s keep this a positive space. It’d be wonderful if you could refrain from inappropriate and unnecessary language, but constructive criticism is always appreciated.

I have decided on a few guidelines to help you with your comments; please take the time to read through them.

• Think before you comment 

Is it necessary or helpful? Rude or inappropriate? Consider the significance of your comment. Don’t comment solely to be “funny”, it won’t benefit you in any way.

• Only write something you would say in person

I feel like we often overlook the comments we post on the internet. If your comment isn’t something you would say in person, simply don’t say it. Remain respectful and aware of others’ boundaries in person, and online.

• Say something meaningful

Before commenting, think about the effect your comment will have. I would not like to see unnecessary and negative comments; I don’t think anybody wants to see that. Comment positively, share something that is encouraging and helpful.

• Be polite

This guideline should be common sense and self-explanatory. Being polite won’t hurt you, let’s all be respectful and polite towards one another.

Example: My blog post on art mediums

“Thanks for sharing this information, Aila! Your post was extremely insightful. Charcoal is my absolute favourite medium, how about you?”

Thank you for reading! I’m looking forward to reading your future comments!
