As an excerpt from a new book on blogging, Rebecca Blood’s Weblog Ethics is certainly timely. Especially given the current recess fighting over “de-publishing”. But more than that, Rebecca’s wisdom rings true as one of the early bloggers (see Rebecca’s Pocket for may more gems) and is sound advice for those new to the blog scene (this cogdog puppy just arrived a few months back).
(A tip of the blog hat to Ten Reasons Why for leading me to this site).
Rebecca’s book along with the recently posted final version of weblog definition by Jill Walker give a more robust picture of the weblog universe.
So peruse the list of concepts for weblog ethics, and absorb them, not as pure truths, but wise advice.
