When you are reading a blog, look for something in the blog you can relate to or you have experience with. Try to find a way to relate to the writer and it will bring more validity and perspective to your reply.

Generally if you take the time to read a blog post and then take the time to make a comment then you most likely liked part if not all of the blog. Make sure you complement the writer for something that they did that impressed you. Don't kiss ass though. Nobody likes a kiss ass. lol
