Since none of you have blogged before, I think it might be a good idea to go over a little etiquette for blogging. Etiquette involves basic rules like 'always sign your name', 'always cite your sources', 'don't be offensive', etc. Take a look at these resources then please send a comment with what you consider the 5 most important rules for blogging. These are, obviously, just 3 resources. If you find any others that are better, please send us the urls!

IMPORTANT RULES FOR BLOGGING
1)Do not use unconventional forms of spelling and presentation, write in a proper format (for example, do not wriye everything in capital letters).
2)make sure you give a way for your readers to contact you.
3)A blog has as its aim to propagate discussion (people respond to what is being talked about, whether they agree or not with what you wrote)
4)Have fun when you write on your blog: if you don't, you cannot expect others to have a good time reading it!
5)Find something original to talk about.
6)Don't be afraid to have your own opinions and to admit what you like.
Oh, and don't forget to always sign what you write!

5 IMPORTANT RULES FOR BLOGGING
1. When you leave comments sign them, anonimity is not appropriate in blogging. Your identity has to be clear.
2. Leave a contact so readers can get in touch with you; blogging is something interactive you can't blog alone.
3. Quote your sources.
4. Be original. Your blog has to be interesting, otherwise why should readers visit it?
5. Don't be afraid to express your opinions even if you agree or not.
