Be careful of mistakes like these! ;)
Here's what you should do: use the Notebook section (http://www.italki.com/notebook) and write some short texts. In the corrections, pay attention to how the commas are used. Ask the member who corrected you for an explanation.
A handful of punctuation rules won't help you much. Learn to use the comma practically.

Use a comma: 1) Between items in a series/list [coffee, tea, milk and eggs] 2) Between three or more adverbs/adjectives [The old, red, wooden chair] 3) Where you can use 'And' for two adjectives [Short, (and) simple film] 4) For addresses, dates, titles following name [Los Angeles, California. August 15, 1947. Fred Ling, Prof. of English.] 5) Before a coordinating conjunction (For, And, Nor, But, Or) to join two independent clauses [He didn't want to buy, but he bought.] I can think of only these right now.

Roman's website gives a good list of the many different ways commas are used, so you should try to practice them in your writing. Here's one example that you can start with:
I enjoy playing baseball.
I don't like watching it on tv.
We can use a comma and a conjunction to join these sentences.
I enjoy playing baseball, but I don't like watching it on tv.
Here's another example:
There are many conjunctions.
You don't have to use the same one every time.
There are many conjunctions, so you don't have to use the same one every time.

*Comma
You use a comma to separate the elements in a series (three or more things)
To connect two independent clauses (He hit the ball well, but he ran toward third base)
I just remember these rules, I hope it will be helpful :D
