After reading the details of the how and why's of commenting I see that not only does it help to keep the blogging format alive and interesting but that you can comment on someones ideas, relate, and respond to them on a professional and/or personal level. Several of the sites gave great suggestions for commenting, and a classroom teacher using a blog would want to have the students read the reasoning behind whether or not to use your real name or an alias - "Commenting using an alias vs, using your real name" - Blogging Basics 101 and "The 10 Commandments of blog commentary" - Brown's Thought blog. Both of these sites would help to establish the expectations and the protocol of using the classroom blog. I have benefitted from the info and comments from several educational blogs as well as some personal interest blogs. A great resource and tool for personal use as well as for practical use in the classroom!
