Learning the Protocols of Blogging

Apparently with blogging there are certain protocols that are helpful to follow. I have been learning these the hard way. I think I am getting a greater understanding of the process. I know that a web log is personal diary, much like the kinds some folks used to keep in a private, locked book. Because they were private, they gave the author the opportunity to vent whatever emotions being experienced. With that in mind, the author could write whatever was important.

With a blog it is also possible for a similar venting of emotions. Blogs usually invite comments from whomever happens upon the blog. However, I am puzzled. The comments can be positive and sometimes negative. I have even received one that was nothing more than a couple of symbols that led to a blog with a couple of similar symbols and a column of letters like an outline. There was nothing more. Very puzzling.

Ah well. Perhaps I will understand it more as I continue to particpate with my blogs.

I just need to remember to,

Serve well!

the thing about netiquette when it comes to blogs, sometimes, people don't have any. that is why the delete this comment command is a fabulous thing. if someone writes (or doesn't in your case) something that you find offensive, you can delete.
