Blogging has become such an ubiquitous activity that it seems that you cannot get on the Internet without running into one or two blogs. The immense popularity of blogging however has only served to focus attention on numerous bloggers that are seemingly unaware of blogging etiquette. This should be readily apparent to anyone who has been a frequent blog reader for the past several years. Blogging is as much a privilege as it is a right, and it will only serve the blogging community as a whole if everyone keeps a few simple things in mind.
Blogging is a unique means of expression in itself, and that what was once a fairly invalided audience has now transcended geographical boundaries to encompass the rest of the world. While the personal approach remains a valid means of expression, the modern day blogger should at least make an effort to be understood by a wider range of readers.
Blogging was originally used as a way for people to get their thoughts out on the Internet regardless of how trivial or insignificant they may seem to be. There is certainly nothing stopping you from doing the same today if you wish, although you can hardly expect everyone who comes across your blog to be interested in the minutiae of your day to day life. You may therefore want to start blogging about more things that would be interesting to your readers, instead of merely blogging about what you had for lunch!
A good blog is always written by someone who knows what he is talking about. This means that you would be a far more effective blogger if your blog focuses on a subject that you are intimately familiar with. This doesnt necessarily mean that you will have to be a recognized expert on the subject, although it would help to have more than a casual interest in what your blog is all about. Remember that your audience is will want to pick up some information or unique insight on that particular subject matter that youre focusing on, and having some knowledge is the best way to provide that content.
Under no circumstances should you steal content from other websites. Even if you have nothing to post on your blog for a few days, this is still a lot better than stealing content from someone else. Keep the golden rule in mind, and dont rip off content if you dont want other people ripping off content from you!
Lastly, do not take advantage of your anonymity on the Internet. Anything that you write in your blog may find its way back to you in the future. Always be accountable for your thoughts and actions online, and act the same way that you would in real life.
