My Blogging Principles and Recommendations

Nowadays, people are now aware of computer technology wherein everything could be done in a simple way……. Including blogging.

Before anything else i’d like to introduce to you especially for those beginners what blogging is. Based from WIKIPEDIA 2008 A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log“) is a Website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog etc..etc... (para 1)

Like many of bloggers, I was also impressed by the enthusiasm the bloggers had for blogging in their life! I just loved reading from them how they could learn from each other and develop and share their own thoughts and opinions through writing, reading, reflecting, and responding via the blog. After blogging with others this past year, I found that i was also enthusiastic to connect with them , but sustaining the conversation is something that takes thought; the interaction needs to be varied. Therefore, I liked reading about the different ways they used the blog: Telling about waking-up in the morning, How do they look, live blogging and etc… Till I found out, I am now also do blogging.

For almost four years of my Blogging Hobby  I have so many things  that i learned  and finally got my principle of blogging. For me to be able to express my feelings and thoughts i always do blogging. I always put to my mind that in order for me to be responsible for what i am going to write  everything must be done to ensure that what would writing be presented is true and fair. An Idea to publish something just to express once feeling is not enough when that feeling is a feeling of guilt or evil.

Since Blogging is not enforceable, everyblogger believes that whatever we write is always correct depending on our beliefs. However, don’t we know that every decisions in life that we are going to make like writing has always a rewards or consequences? Rewards? at blogging, we can earn a rewards when somebody believed that what we have written is true-some kind of an appreciation for us to be inspired. Consequences? Words, once they are blogged, have a life of their own. This means that if we will write somethings wrong and unfair for someone or something or for some issues this will be connected to our personality as a blogger and our credibility will suddenly be lost or lessen.

For my recommendations, In order  for us to earn trust and respect  from our readers and be known as credible for everything that we are publishing , at least have our own set of ethics by means of writing in a responsible way. Letting the reader feel relaxed and confident with what they are reading is one of the Blogger’s Principle  that we have to pursue.

Be Present, Show up. Post as always as you could. Develop a posting schedule, whether it’s daily or weekly. Develop a blogging schedule and stick to it. Be True Don’t just cut and paste your articles or ideas to your blog. Add your own thoughts. Answer comments honestly. If a comment requires a more than a few sentences to respond to, then create a post about it instead-That is being a responsive Blogger. This is part of the reason that you have a blog. Obcourse honesty is important. If you do, then I guarantee that you will be discovered. The results will be worse than if you never started blogging. Patience is also required. It takes times to build relationships through blogging. You wouldn’t expect a friendship to develop overnight – neither will a reader relationship. The relevance is also included. It’s great to add-in some pictures to help the readers get to know, but make sure that you also include images that they care about.

Generally, Principles of Blogging is not about the law on blogging or ethics of Journalism rather it is how we are going to be credible with Blogging in a way that we are not just entertaining the reader, giving informations, persuading for advertisements, telling a story, etc… but also delivering our thoughts, feelings and ideas about a certain issue.
