I'm not a terribly experienced thread poster. Commenter yes, but I have not been all that good in starting threads properly. I think I should have posted something from the article in addition to my comments. Also, i'm not sure what you mean about it being better on an original Bloggers thread post. I'm still unfamiliar with how to set this up properly.
You are right.
I referred to two things in one sentence, first that you were the thread originator so a little more content would be good orientation for viewers (usually, large portions, if not all of Blogs can be reposted, with credit), then they could choose to comment or read the entire Blog at the link before commenting. Answering comments, on the other hand, can be quite short in content.
Second, you posted in Bloggers & Personal, which was exactly correct for the content you chose, and that is a big plus.
That is why I merely suggested and didn't call ya any names, you are already doing well.
