Blogging is fun and informative but watch what you blog about, when you blog and who you blog about. For personal blogs, this could mean not to blog about your family (or at least mention their names), friends, coworkers or the company you work for. The same goes for business blogs.

Becuase of this, I will write about how not to comment on blogs: Before you comment, read the entire post. This is a blog and not the playground. Leave comments that are in the same language as the overall blog. Don't comment about the blog author's mom. If it's not a political blog, don't bring politics into it.
