Bloggers Need to be Careful

Pittsburgh the third-"bloggiest" city in the country...

Interesting. Yep. We shoulda been writing about Pittsburgh all this time (we'd have made it to the listing) rather than the NAFTA superhighway, voter registration database which is inccurate and potential for fraud and abuse with the names of deceased remaining on the rolls...

It was the be careful quotation by a person affiliated with the Pittsburgh blogger that got our attention.

Uh, no being careful - if you don't want to make waves, stay out of the blogging experience.

OK YOU CAN WATCH AND CHAT LIVE! THAT IS COOL BUT BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WRITE AND HOW YOU WRITE AS IT MAY AFFECT YOUR JOB POTENTIAL...

...Wanna blog?

Be unique. Have a voice -- even if your blog is not focused on one thing, have an identity. Blogging is meant to be conversational. If your blog is written like stereo instructions, that's about how interesting it will be.

Be involved. Comment on other blogs you're interested in, or on blogs with similar style. Blogging can be a one-way conversation sometimes, but comments on other blogs are an excellent way to get a discussion going.

Be vigilant. Post in a regular, timely fashion. If you don't post for six weeks, you may come back and find you've lost your audience.

Be careful. What you're writing about could affect other areas of your life, i.e. employment. How personal do you want to get, and how much do you want to divulge?
