Blogging Faux Pas

Embarassment!Blogging - a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies; “postings on a blog are usually in chronological order” (source). Faux pas - (French) a slip or blunder in etiquette, manners, or conduct; an embarrassing social blunder or indiscretion (source).

 

Do you identify with or have you seen the following Blogging Faux Pas?

 

1. An unedited “About” page or “Hello” post. Before you announce your blog to the whole world, please edit your “About” page and amend or delete the “Hello” post. It is embarassing to leave it in its default state.

 

2. The year indicated at the copyright notice at the footer of the blog is not updated and shows the wrong year. Did you not notice? Personally, it is better to leave the year out as it is redundant, in my humble opinion.

 

3. Expired links or having links that don’t work. Check your blog’s links periodically to ensure that they are still relevant. I should do so myself too ;)

 

4. Creating a blog which screams “Tips”, “Secrets” and stuffs like that but inserting posts wholly copied from elsewhere. Readers are not stupid or ignorant, you know? Read on »

When Your Site Is Down

Some of you might have come to this site yesterday to be greeted by a server message saying that something is wrong and do come back later. This site was down for most of yesterday and there was nothing much I could do. According to my host, there was apparently an attack on the servers. The server management team had to disable the unaffected servers whilst trying to pinpoint those which were affected by the attacks. Luckily, mine was spared any damage save and except perhaps, some embarassment to my readers for not having anything to show them when they click on this site’s URL.

 

So, what did I do in the meantime? WORK! Of course! It was a good and productive day of work, completing some of my pending tasks and getting myself ready for a 10 day break from the 17th till 26th September when I will be travelling to Kuching to visit my in-laws. So, even for the next 2 weeks or so, posts might be sporadic depending on how fast I can get my posts up using the normal dial-up line at my in-laws’ house. I think it should be okay as long as I do it late at night when traffic is much lower. Read on »

Is It Okay for Bloggers To Take A Break From Blogging?

Hammock HolidayAre you a blogger? Do you contemplate taking a break from blogging from time to time? Or perhaps you have no choice as it is the holidays and you are travelling and you have no access to the net? Do you feel guilty about taking a break from blogging? Having withdrawal syndromes from not blogging?

 

If you have difficulties taking a break from blogging, you just might be having a blog addiction syndrome. No kidding. Well, it’s my diagnosis anyway. And you can choose to agree or disagree with me.

 

For bloggers to be, let me tell you this - blogging can be seriously addictive as you will discover that it gives you immense pleasure from expressing yourself which you probably have never done before with a possibility of remaining anonymous. The new found freedom of blogging can get so addictive that you find it hard to leave your blog or stay away from checking your blog statistics or worse still, your blog income statistics. Read on »
