Beware!!

When you start to blog, please make sure that you know certain ethiques beforehand as you may not want people to misinterprete about you.

1) When Badmouthing,Don't mention Names....EVER

It is common for bloggers to want to write on their blog about that who stole their boyfriend, or the asshole lecturer who read their embarrassingly bad essay out loud to the whole class. However, when badmouthing someone on your blog, respect their identity by not revealing it. Think of it this way; blogging about how you caught your boyfriend, Amir Roslan in the arms of the campus slut, Sara Abdul, is just as bad as passing flyers to everyone on campus about it. No, actually it’s worse because you have no idea who in the world will be reading your blog. For sure, the person you’re writing about will get wind of it and plot your destruction.

Eg:

OMG OMG OMG!! Today I had this totally huge fight with Amir about that desperate slut o’hara who keeps chasing after him, Sara. YOU KNOW WHY?? I saw them together at Giant yesterday after he cancelled his date with me because he said he was going to see his sick grandma! BITCH BITCH BITCH. I hate her so much!!! I know it’s her fault. She seduced him using all that black magic of hers. You know she doesn't pray and can’t even recite Al-Fatihah? Yeah, that’s because she’s a witch and a slut. And she’s not even pretty.

I doubt either Amir or Sara would appreciate her writing about them for everyone on the planet to read.

2)Murdering the Language

There is nothing more annoying than reading a blog where omg dey rite al der entrs lk dis cz lol it svs tym!!1!!. I mean, come on. Is it that hard to type in proper English? It is entries like these that make us throw our hands up in despair and wonder what is happening to our language. Surely you didn’t learn to write like this in school? And isn’t it easier to type like this:

Today I went to school and realised that it was actually Saturday. What a laugh!

Rather than this?

wnt 2 skul 2dy n rlsd dat it ws actly stday lol lol lol

3) Self Indulgent

You know you've stumbled across a self-absorbed, self-pity, self-indulgent blog when it reads something like this:

Today, I had my heart broken by X. This beautiful boy who gave me hope, who made me believe in not just him, but myself and our future together, told me he was not ready for a relationship. His words dug deep into my heart… I don’t think I will ever recover. I can’t stop crying. I’m beautiful, fair, tall, smart, funny, sympathetic (to the point that people take advantage of me) and I remind myself of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. What more could X want from a girl? He and I… we are meant to be together. What has happened to make him not see that? I love him so much. Without him I am nothing. Just an empty, cold, glass shell. I cannot live like this. X, come back to me.

Someone who blogs with no regard or respect to her audience's (bored) feelings should either just buy a proper journal or spare the unfortunate person who stumbles on her blog by making her blog private.
