Blog Guidlines

1. Respect the views of other bloggers. You can have a dissenting opinion and still be respectful. Before you hit submit, re-read your entry.

2. Never reply with personal attacks. Discuss issues in a mature manner.

3. Refrain from using foul or vulgar language; it turns people off.

4. Apologize if you make a mistake or give erroneous information.

5. Use correct spelling, grammar, punctuation. This is not text messaging or IM'ing.

6. Do not correct other blogger's spelling, grammar, or punctuation.

7. Lurking: it is okay to lurk (read other posts without commenting). When a post inspires you to post, then do so.

8. Respond to comments or questions about your post. If your answer is too personal or off topic, then email a reply directly to that person instead of posting a comment.

9. Always reference material from other sources, and if taken from an online webpage, then provide a link to it.

10. Think before you post any information that you do not want the world to see. The blogosphere is global and open to the public.
