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. Although you may still adopt a personal tone if you wish, remember that other people who may not readily understand your tone or your delivery may read your blog.
While blogging was once primarily a way to share your innermost thoughts and ideas to the world, the vast popularity of blogging has resulted in countless pages seemingly dedicated to trivial posts. 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. While no one is expecting you to know every single thing there is to know about your chosen niche, you should at the very least be in possession of a bit more knowledge and/or experience than the majority of your readers. 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. If you have nothing at all to write on your blog, resist the urge to lift content from other blogs. 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. Even if you are writing under a pseudonym, there is a possibility that your blog will be traced back to you someday. It is therefore important to make sure that you do not engage in any online behavior that is at odds with your actions in the real world.
