In commenting on the student's blog, you may discuss some of the points of the student's post that you agree with or that you like because you have not thought about the information in this way. But, you must also find ONE idea that you would like to disagree with or that you needed the person to shed more light on. In other words, you must diagnose and offer suggestion for improvment.
