In recent years, personal blogs have gained popularity, making it easier for individuals to create their own blogs using a domain and cloud platform. However, many users hesitate to engage with bloggers due to concerns about comments and interactions. This tutorial aims to guide users on how to leave comments on blogs. To find blogs, it's recommended to use search engines like Google or Bing rather than Baidu, as this can lead to better quality blogs and reduce the chances of encountering unauthorized reposts on other sites. Once you've found a blog and wish to comment, having an email address is essential for receiving replies. Common email services include QQ, Outlook, and Gmail. To display an avatar with your comments, you need to register on Gravatar, a platform for unified avatars. If Gravatar is inaccessible due to internet restrictions, Cravatar can be used as an alternative. Most blog comment systems are similar, with popular content management systems (CMS) like WordPress and Typecho being widely used. When commenting, you typically need to fill in your nickname and email address, and you can even link to your Bilibili profile if desired. Engaging with blogs by leaving supportive comments is encouraged, as many bloggers create content out of passion.

With the popularity of personal blogs in recent years and the rise of website building, a personal blog can be set up with just a domain name and a cloud platform. We, the ordinary onlookers, are often limited by our fear of trouble and have little interaction with the bloggers. Today, I will provide a tutorial on blog comments, teaching everyone how to leave comments in simple language.

After all, a certain product manager has a habit of educating users, which led to this tutorial.

Finding Blogs#

Taking bloggers as an example, blogs generally appear in search engines (such as: Google & Bing) or in the descriptions of projects/videos. When you see a string of links, one is usually a citation link, while the other is generally a blog. There are also personal descriptions in video bloggers' profiles, such as mine.

So for the first point, we shouldn't search for problems on Baidu. Not only will this not yield quality blogs, but it will also increase the chances of seeing unauthorized blog reposts on other websites (such as: CSDN). Ordinary bloggers do not have the budget to pay for Baidu's SEO optimization.

After previewing the blog, if you want to comment to tell the blogger or want to share with netizens immediately, leaving a comment might be a good way!

Unlike streaming media sites (such as: Bilibili/Youtube/Douyin), we may need to understand blogs. On streaming platforms, comments and bullet screens receive likes and replies, and most of them are seen through app notifications.

Email#

For our blog, we need an email address to receive replies. I believe everyone has a QQ account that can receive emails. Generally, if you haven't changed your email address, it's just your QQ number + @qq.com (for example: [email protected]), which is the most common email. Go to QQ Mail to log in with your QQ number. After logging in successfully, the top left corner will show your QQ nickname and your email address.

If you say, "No one uses QQ anymore," then you can set up an email app for notifications. Especially for mobile manufacturers, their email apps can easily add your email to your phone, at least through system-level push notifications.

If you want to be even simpler, just download an app from your email service provider in the app store.

There are many email service providers, such as: Microsoft Outlook, Google Gmail, Foxmail, NetEase, etc.

Avatar#

Fill in your email and name, then send. Why doesn't the blog comment display an avatar? Actually, the reason it doesn't display an avatar is that you haven't registered Gravatar.

Gravatar is a platform for unified avatars. As long as we register Gravatar with our email, we can go to Avatar, fill in a few commonly used emails, upload your avatar, click confirm, and then click the avatar again to apply it.

Because Gravatar's official website is affected by the GFW firewall, you need to use a VPN to access it. We also have another alternative method, Cravatar, which is similar to a domestic accelerated mirror of Gravatar and has its own "three-level avatar matching," the best part is that it can retrieve your QQ email avatar. The number of CMS using Cravatar is unknown, but in any case, Gravatar is recommended first!

The Big Three#

Sharp-eyed friends may have noticed that every blog comment system is quite similar. The mainstream CMS on the market now mainly includes WordPress, Typecho, Halo, Hexo, etc. Because of the different themes used, the comment interface also varies.

We only need to fill in the required fields: nickname and email address. As for the website link, you can even fill in your Bilibili link; there's no need to follow the crowd and create a separate website.

Some email fields can even recognize QQ numbers, so entering your QQ number will also notify you through QQ email, though this is quite rare. (This site does not support it.)

Now you can freely explore blogs! If you see a blog post you think is good, leave a comment to support the blogger, as most bloggers write out of passion. You can also start exploring through the blogger's links!
