Making the Most of Your Comments
Wed, November 10, 2010, 01:08 6 Comments
I really appreciate comments. Not least because I feel less like I’m blogging to a wall… There are other things as well like some really useful tips (like the on-going discussion around lighting up displays, and places to shop for LEGO in Singapore) and links (like those addictive videos of modular buildings) that some of you have left. Plus I like to see/read the interaction between readers.
There are some stuff that you can do in the comments box that I wanted to share. 💡

Ok, hope to see some the info put to some use. I shall try diversifying my smilies range too. Like now… 8)

A Modular Life 
that’s the trouble with own hosted blogs – they do tend to get a bit isolated unlike the social networks and forums; but those tend to get flooded with non-relevant stuff.
funny you should mention lighting – I was only just looking at these

it’s a shame about the price but the lighting kits are quite cheap so I’m really quite tempted.
I wish TLG would release proper new lamps though.
Well, no aim to be a forum as such. Just much more fun for me personally to have more comments.
I recall seeing such lamp posts earlier… finally found them. It’s in this post’s commentary (https://amodularlife.wordpress.com/2010/09/25/my-two-green-grocers/ ).
In essence…
US$12 for one standalone LED lamp post or US$2 for a lamp post

I like the standalone LED lamp post… clean wiring =)
So do I. Don’t like the price tho.
yeah a but pricey $12 I think??? If I had the time I think I would do my own… shouldn’t be that difficult =)
Ok, wait for you to try. And then got more ppl who can conduct LEGO LED lamp post making class. 😛
