Blogging

There are some ground rules that everyone should follow when posting a blog on the Internet. Otherwise, you may find yourself in some hot water.

Do associate with other bloggers like yourself. This can be done either by blog discussion or by paying an occasional visit to other blogs. A great deal can be learned from other blogs and make you an even better blogger than you are already.

Don’t spam on other blogs. When you make a comment on a blog or leave a message in a tag box, do not put a whole bunch of urls on there. One is acceptable, two is acceptable one some blogs, three or more is a big no-no.

Do become a member of a community. This way you can check out other blogs and follow discussions. You can also get advice from blogger who may have more experience or you can offer assistance on subjects of your own expertise.

Don’t be a tyrant. If you do not have something nice to say, do not say anything at all. Constructive criticism and corrections are welcome, but keep it civilized and do not attack anyone.

Do make a comment on the blogs that you visit. Just a line or two to encourage the blogger whose hard work has gone into creating the blog.
