Some people take as a fact those that they read from other people's blog. (By the way, I quoted you in my recent post about blogging responsibilities. I hope you don't mind).

Part of setting a high standard includes: * researching what you're writing about * writing from the heart * refusing to trash another individual * not jumping to conclusions until facts are revealed and most importantly * being able to show your mom and your kids what you've written...and be proud of it as well. What you write online will last many, many MANY years after you hit that Publish button. Make certain it's something that shines. Data points, Barbara I firmly believe if you don’t set a standard for yourself (ideally a *high* standard), you have no business publishing on the Internet.

Part of setting a high standard includes:

* researching what you’re writing about
* writing from the heart
* refusing to trash another individual
* not jumping to conclusions until facts are revealed

and most importantly

* being able to show your mom and your kids what you’ve written…and be proud of it as well.

What you write online will last many, many MANY years after you hit that Publish button. Make certain it’s something that shines.

Data points,

Barbara
