Blogging Rules

Division 3: A blog is short for web log or online journal. A blog is public domain. What that means is that anyone with an internet connection can read what you write. They can also respond to what you write. Because of this, there are some rules you must obey for safety and for etiquette. I will read this blog daily to check that all rules are being followed.

For Safety:

Keep your, and other people's, personal details private. Never offer any personal information including your last name, contact information, home address, phone numbers, school's name, e-mail address, last names of friends or relatives, instant messaging names, age, or birth date.
Assume what you publish on the Web is permanent. Anyone on the Internet can easily print out a blog or save it to a computer.
No one wants or needs to know private details about your family life.
No photographs of yourself or others should be posted unless they are group shot, without names, and you have cleared the photo with me first.

For Etiquette:

ALL your posts should be positive, friendly and inoffensive; don't use them for slander or to attack others. That includes gossip. No gossip or negative posts about any other individuals, whether they are in our community or not. Remember, as soon as you post something it's hard to take it back!
Avoid trying to "outdo" or compete with other bloggers; concentrate on your own ideas.
Don't write in UPPER CASE: it is seen as shouting.
No inappropriate words, phrases or pictures are to be posted. Keep your language appropriate, clean and free of any rudeness.
Sign all your posts with only your first-name.

Above all: have fun!

Mr. N
