Handling Negative Comments On Your Blog Post

Jason Alba of JibberJobber.com guest-posts on Chris Brogan.com in order to offer advice to bloggers dealing with negative feedback. His article, Handling Negative Comments On Your Blog Post, suggests five courses of action and inspires readers to contribute even more in the comments section. Here are his recommendations:

  1. Take time to cool off.
  2. Just be quiet and let your contacts defend you.
  3. Ignore the comment, or reply with a very short, non-combative response.
  4. Clarify the intentions, OFF BLOG.
  5. Don’t approve, or delete, the comment.
