Commenting is hard for me. I don't know what or where to comment, because everything seems obvious when I'm programming it (I'm a Dabbling Programmer, so it rarly is obvious later).

Rule of thumb: if you had to think about a line of code while writing it, comment it.
Safer rule: EVERYTHING.

Comment functional blocks, not singular lines. Everybody knows that "i++" means "increment the counter". But no one would know for sure what the thirteen lines long code inside a loop does, and without a comment it would be needed to guess the programmer's intentions. And it's not always obvious what did he want to achieve.

My commenting is rule is: If I can't tell what it does at a glance or two, comment it.
