Due to abusive online behavior especially attacks or threats against the blogger, Tim O’Reilly proposed the Blogger’s Code of Conduct. The purpose of which is to enforce civility on bloggers. This move came about as a result of the threats made to blogger Kathy Sierra, author of the inoffensive blog Creating Passionate Users. In one instance she was made a target of vicious threats and misogynistic insults.

The Code emphasizes self-regulation, meaning it should be the bloggers themselves who should impose civility among themselves and place moderate comments on their blogs. If this can be done, it is expected that bloggers will be more responsible and abusive online behavior will be minimized if not totally eradicated.

You’ve seen them on blogs and webpages–little boxes that do different kinds of things from animating photos to showing the weather forecast. They’re called widgets, applets that can be easily installed on your site even if you do not know anything about code. Most of the time, you simply copy-paste the script on your blog template or follow the instructions for the platform you are using. The results are instant and do not need to be updated. The tough part is controlling yourself from installing all of them, which is not the best idea because too many widgets will give your readers a major headache. In the next post, we’ll suggest some cool and useful widgets.

What are feeds and why enable them? Feeds get your blog content to more people by “pushing” them on a regular basis or whenever there are updates through the means convenient to them. Readers choose to subscribe to the sites they want updates of and have the flexibility to read new posts at their own pace without having to go to the blog or website itself. How do you know there are feeds? Look for the orange icon.  Some blogging platforms automatically have feeds enabled. For others, you need to turn them on, so check with your provider. Also, take a look at FeedBurner and FeedBlitz to help you optimize, publicize and make the most of your feeds.

To keep a group blog running smoothly, ground rules should be set from the beginning to make it clear who is responsible for what material and when they are expected to act. Here are a few guidelines for group blogging.

Designate. One or more admins and editors work best when they know what they are in charge of, or else they will keep guessing whose turn it is.
Clarify scope. Enumerate what topics are allowed and what are best avoided. Remember your target audience.
Specify frequency. Agree on a target number of posts per group member and deadlines for submission. For example, bi-monthly or every second weekend of the month.

The group can make up more rules as you go and as you see fit the blog and its audience.
