Blog Etiquette

Originally for February 26, 2007

When I started this blog my goal was not to become famous, but to learn about blogs and how they work. I have just had a learning experience. It took a while but I finally got a comment (or two) to one of my posts. Then came the question, "Do I respond or not?" I did respond but then realized if I respond to all the comments, the responses will exponentially grow until I can never write another blog entry. So I am going to start my own set of blog rules and see how they work out.

First rule: - Never respond to comments, unless in a main blog entry.

Second rule: - I reserve the right to remove any comments which I feel are false or not in the spirit of my blog, which is intelligent, thoughtful discussion.

I will add others as I go along.

Below are some links to other blogs and sites for Blog Etiquette. I do not endorse them (I may take them off if I find better ones). They are there for reference only.
(I will clean up the links later)
