Code of Ethics

As a first time blog user, I searched for some tips on "blogging code of ethics." I found a great list that I agree to stand by throughout my blogging journey. Here is Charlene Li's "Blogger Code of Ethics," that I intend to follow: http://forrester.typepad.com/groundswell/2004/11/blogging_policy.html


  1. I will tell the truth.
  2. I will write deliberately and with accuracy.
  3. I will acknowledge and correct mistakes promptly.
  4. I will preserve the original post, using notations to show where I have made changes so as to maintain the integrity of my publishing.
  5. I will never delete a post.
  6. I will not delete comments unless they are spam or off-topic.
  7. I will reply to emails and comments when appropriate, and do so promptly.
  8. I will strive for high quality with every post – including basic spellchecking.
  9. I will stay on topic.
  10. I will disagree with other opinions respectfully.
  11. I will link to online references and original source materials directly.
  12. I will disclose conflicts of interest.
  13. I will keep private issues and topics private, since discussing private issues would jeopardize my personal and work relationships.
