Safe Blogging

The Internet is a very useful, but dangerous place. You have to be careful what you say, and who you say it to. Not everyone is who they say they are. It's easy to lie about age, gender, or anything else when nobody can see you. Another thing is that once you put something on the Internet, it's likely to stay there. Don't put anything on that you'll later regret. Be interactive. Comment on other people's blogs, post blogs that will prod others to comment, and ask questions. Elaborate. Don't do a Facebook status where you only say a couple of words that leave everybody hanging. Add more! Be very careful when choosing your words. Don't give away personal information, or say something you wouldn't want your future boss or anyone else to read. Here is my personal code of conduct for using the Internet:

1. Don't post any personal information, i.e. name, address, age, or phone number
2. Leave thought provoking entries and questions for other people to comment on
3. Read through all links and make sure that's what I really want going on my blog
4. Post interesting entries, but know that whatever I put out will most likely be out for a long time, I can't take it back
5. Comment on other people's blogs. Strike up a conversation.
