From the swirling around in my head department…
I’ve been at this blogging thing for a relatively short period of time compared to many of the other bloggers I know. In that time I’ve seen bits and pieces of a set of norms, or “rules” if you will, scattered around the blogosphere. These “rules” are mostly unwritten, but some are buried in the archives of the blogosphere. For new bloggers they lurk like tiny land mines waiting to be stepped on.

That’s a new one for me–the Wizbang Rant.
Just remember Kevin and anyone else–You Can Go Your Own Way!
Can I have a cup of coffee now? I promise not to leave it on the coffee table.
Can I use that bit about posting the breakfast menu? It might be a nice touch…
Ah yes, the “rules”. I’d broken most of them before I knew there were any. Especially the “only post original stuff, or only post links, don’t mix them” one.
So now I’m wondering my my Bonfire submission from last week needn’t have been thrown to the Bonfire after all. :smirk:
I generally ignore the blog “rules” – blog “etiquette” is another matter entirely.
I absolutely agree with you. When someone else pays for your page, then and only then do they have the right to tell you what to do. The only rule I have “heard”? and do my best to adhere to, is if you read something on someone else’s blog and use it, you should give them the credit….something I find some of the blogs with tons of readers don’t always do, but in the long run, what does it matter. That should be common courtesy–Ms. Manners would tell us so!!–not even a rule…..
What’s that saying, something about only pleasing yourself? I love reading the different blogs and look forward to each day’s offerings. If we all followed these “so-called rules” put down by who?? (republicans, I bet, yeah, that’s it, conservative right wing republicans!! lol), how boring the blog world would quickly become. (As a society, we are becoming more and more homogenized–we need to be different!!) If you don’t like a blog or a topic, then ignore it. Pretty simple, if you ask me–not that anyone did!
kevin,
never mind the bollocks comments,
where’s my reciprocal link?
a contract is a contract.
looking forward to the communist manifesto one page at a time.
I like you. Your now a daily read.
There are RULES for this shit? Goddam! How come nobody let me in on that secret until now?
Yes, but have you ever kissed a cow?
