Module Three - Blogs

As in a previous post I've set up my blog. You're reading it.

Below is the screen shot of my blog (Learning Log)


It is suggested that if we wish to continue with our blog we should consider the sorts of ‘bloggiquette’ that are emerging.

"Rebecca Blood has written about the ethics of blogging in her The Weblog Handbook, which suggests a list of standards to which bloggers should adhere."

In your learning log, record your ‘top five tips for new bloggers’

Taken from Rebecca Blood's blog rebecca's pocket

1. Publish as fact only that which you believe to be true.
2. If material exists online, link to it when you reference it.
3. Publicly correct any misinformation.
4. Write each entry as if it could not be changed; add to, but do not rewrite or delete, any entry.
5. Disclose any conflict of interest. plus
6. Note questionable and biased sources.
