10 Blog Tips to Reduce Blog Trouble

John Hawkins of Right Wing News writes an informative post on things a blogger can do to "make life easier":

  1. If you have a comments section, make sure people have to register...
  2. If you ban someone from commenting on your blog, don't turn him/her back on, don't respond to his emails, and don't acknowledge the fact that he's been banned on your blog. ...
  3. Don't ever tell your readers where you work. ...
  4. Don't send out emails from your work address or post in another blog's comment section from work. ...
  5. Have an unregistered phone number and don't mention where you live...
  6. Don't post other people's email addresses or phone numbers...
  7. Don't post the email addresses or IPs of people who send hate mail to you. ...
  8. If a small blog says something nasty about you, don't get all upset and think you have to respond to them. ...
  9. Don't write about anything on your blog that you couldn't deal with people in the "real world" finding out...
  10. Once a post is published and other bloggers run across it, you're going to have to live with the consequences. ...

Be sure to read the full article. The article is great! The comments section is worthless.
