Time Saving Tips for Posting Profile Comments

In this online age, many of us are members of at least one social networking site. Keeping up with standard profile page comments on these sites could take up hours of your day, if you had the time to spare. With these simple tips, leaving courteous comments on social networking sites doesn't have to become a dreaded time consuming chore.

Comment Craziness
People enjoy receiving a wide variety of comments, but a few types have come to be expected. These include: thanking the user for adding you to their list of friends, happy birthday wishes, and greetings on major holidays. Comments take the place of traditional greeting cards in the online community. It's important to take the time to acknowledge your online friends. Even generic greetings are welcomed, though they don't take the place of real conversation.

Comment Don'ts
If you post large graphics, you can stretch the user's layout, distorting the look of the entire page. This will get your message deleted, and won't win you any brownie points with your friend. Do not use comments from little known sites unless you personally know the artist. Stick to well known sites that have been in business for years. Some images have been responsible for virus transmission and spyware, so only use pictures from well known sites with excellent safety track records, if you use them at all. Before deciding on a site, search the web for any reported problems with the site's files. Don't post multiple comments. If you're unsure if the remark posted, refresh the profile to check before resending your message.

Text Is Fine
If you don't wish to use a graphic in your comments, there's no need to do so. A message can be copied and pasted quickly, and is just as appreciated as a picture. In fact, some users have disabled any html code from being posted on their pages. If this is the case, a notice will appear in the comment box area.
