Assignment:
After you have read the linked article and reviewed the rules, make a comment on this blog.
Pick out the rule from the "10 Tips" article that you think is most important, and tell why. Review the blog rubric and identify which area you feel you will have the most difficulty.
For my opinion about writing a blog, I think writing with passion works the best because if you are really passion about your favorite hobby, sports or different interest and you are willing to say whatever you want to make a point and maybe the other people who have the same interest might agree what is your point of the topic.
