Hi, my name is sMhyla, and I'm a blogaholic.
This is my e-Space to rant and rave.
Who am I? That's for me to know, and you to find out...

My blog etiquette

These are my own guidelines, but I expect my "secret admirers" to treat me in the same respect. In no particular order...
  • No blogging about work (I like my job and I want to keep it)
  • Use pseudonyms or nicknames (real names are not preferred, but common first names might be ok, i.e. John)
  • No revealing location in real-time (don't need stalkers)
  • No revealing location in pictures or writing, meaning I will try to smudge/blur using Photoshop anything identifiable in pictures, i.e. street names, company names, name tags
  • Notify a friend if I blogged about them, i.e. send them a link to the particular post
  • Inform a friend that I like their story enough to blog (Nowadays, a few friends will preface a conversation by saying, "sMhyla, you can't blog about this, ok??" When it's explicitly stated, I will keep my promise.)
  • Be open and honest in my blog (sometimes too open, I'm sure, but as I mentioned before, it is my blog)
  • Respond to comments when I see fit and time permits (don't want to be a blog snob)
  • Modify/delete comments that are disrespectful (I've only had to assert this right on two occassions so far)

I'm sure I'm missing somethings on this list. I reserve the right to modify these guidelines. For my fellow bloggers, what's your blog etiquette?
