I have read this from candymag way back 2005 and I thought of sharing this blog etiquettes with you… btw, these rules had been circulating around the web so in case you haven’t read them yet, here’s a REFRESHER and at the same time a REMINDER.
Keep these rules in mind before publishing in cyberspace..
10 Commandments of Blogging:
BE TACTFUL.
It’s ok to rant a little when you’re angry or sad,
but don’t whine or complain too much--
it can make you seem self-absorbed.
- BE RESPONSIBLE.
Although most of your visitors know you personally,
your blog is also available to strangers.
What may sound normal to you
maybe offensive to other people.
- BE RESPECTFUL.
Dont copy other bloggers entries or photos without permission.
Dont imitate a fellow bloggers writing style.
- BE YOUR OWN PERSON.
Dont make up stories to make your life
seem more interesting.
Be unique, creative and original.
- LANGUAGE REFLECTS ON THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE.
Exercise freedom of speech,
but remain mindful of your own words.
Profanity isnt cool.
- KNOW WHAT AND WHAT NOT TO SHARE.
Be careful not too give out
too much info about yourself.
- NEVER POST YOUR HOME ADDRESS AND CONTACT NUMBERS.
They can leave messages at
the comment link if they wish to contact you.
- DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR FULL NAMES AND CONTACT INFO.
Protect those you know as much as
you would protect yourself.
- THE MORE ELABORATE THE TECHNOLOGY, THE MORE ELABORATE THE CRIMES.
Be wary of thieves who try to plagiarize your work.
- MAKE YOUR JOURNAL AS MEANINGFUL AS POSSIBLE.
Blogs are meant to be stress relievers,
but do make a conscious effort to post entries
that are still worth reading.
Lets stick to this shall we?!
