Suggested Blog Manners

What I noticed in blogs is that it is now a main source of information to the “Netizens”. As we are in charge of feeding useful, creative, and wacky information to everybody. So it’s time that we as new and old bloggers share our opinions and thoughts. But also be careful because it also reflect our reputation online.

On comments : Comments is one of the ways that a reader connects to us. It’s there they that see, read and share their opinion and views on a certain topic that you posted so it’s polite to answer them back so they feel welcome in your blog
Please don’t threaten other bloggers, and don’t take the comments (or other bloggers) personally
Always Think beforehand what topic you would post. It reflects your personality because it comes out in what you write.
Leaving comments on a blog then asking for link a back is definetely a no-no. because usually it’s the first thing that gets deleted.
Don’t leave comments just to promote your own blog. that’s considered spamming so be careful (hehe)
Post relevant comments, and read the posts — don’t comment ” Nice info! link me pls.” ooh that comment sucks big time– and will be immediately deleted.

Hope this give you a rundown of suggested blogger manner… If there are other ideas and suggestions please don’t hesitate to add it.

Yeah, I think the most important thing is that if we want to leave a comment, it’s common courtesy to read the post and comment appropriately.

I’ve received comments from people whom I know did not read my posts. I delete them, like you said

well we have to set an example for others to follow. Some bloggers have been doing that for years. Yet some people out there seem to be out of place… well we can’t change the whole world but at least it starts in us

Nice info! link me pls.
(Just joking. Don’t delete me.) All you have to do is be thoughtful, be relevant to the conversation and be nice. Links will take care of themselves.

hhehe.. your right Tom. If you connect to the author or blogger through your comment, and a your site would be visited by that blogger, and if you create an online friendship or familiarity and respect as internet professionals (whoo!!), then expect a link back.

Is Your Blog W3C Compliant?

Last night I checked my personal blog’s code hoping I can proudly display the W3C Validated Button. Since I use Blogger and do not really do anything to clean up the code (beyond adding Alt-tags to the images I embed) I wasn’t surprised at all to find that my blog contained lots of errors – [...]
