Ten Blogging Commandments
Well no doubt bloggers in many places are posting eloquently about the result of the US elections. I figure I'm going to buck the trend and post about blogging (although for the record I think it's significant that Obama has been elected and the fresh sense of energy in the US that's being transmitted in the media is really quite moving). Evangelical Alliance held a 'Godblogs' conference in September and one of the things that came out of that were the 'Ten Blogging Commandments' loosely based on the Old Testament 10 Commandments to give bloggers 'a moral edge in a virtual world'. Interesting. Here they are:

1. You shall not put your blog before your integrity.
2. You shall not make an idol of your blog.
3. You shall not misuse your screen name by using your anonymity to sin.
4. Remember the Sabbath day by taking one day off a week from your blog.
5. Honour your fellow-bloggers above yourselves and do not give undue significance to their mistakes.
6. You shall not murder someone else’s honour, reputation or feelings.
7. You shall not use the web to commit or permit adultery in your mind.
8. You shall not steal another person’s content.
9. You shall not give false testimony against your fellow-blogger.
10. You shall not covet your neighbour's blog ranking. Be content with your own content.

There's some good stuff here, stuff that if we don't name it could easily just slip into our behaviour on the net. More info here.
