I like blogs.  There are times when I even love blogs.  There are even more times when I hate them.  Recently I find myself frustrated with some blog practices of blogs I follow.  So here I rant…

If you blog, please don't…

– censor or moderate your comments (unless it's spam of course) – this destroys the integrity of the conversation messy as it may be

– don't send out an email to everyone letting them know you've just blogged (if we care, we'll find it)

– try to be someone you're not or try to post for statistics (be yourself and write about what you are thinking/feeling, not what you think others expect you to write about)

That's all – complaining over.

oops…thought of one more (this one's directed to commenters):

– Please don't comment anonymously – if you're that concerned about offending someone with your comment, don't post it.
