The Ten Blogging Commandments: Thou shalt not linkbait
While talking about blogging commandments makes for good headlines, in this case we're not kidding. The Times Online is reporting that church leaders for the Evangelical Alliance have drawn up ten blogging commandments, meant to mimic the ten commandments that were delivered to Moses by God at the top of Mount Sinai. At a conference held in Great Britain titled simply "Godblogs", the commandments were put together and then apparently "engraved on cyberspace tablets", whatever that means.
Each of the commandments takes its inspiration from the real ten commandments:
- You shall not put your blog before your integrity
- You shall not make an idol of your blog
- You shall not misuse your screen name by using your anonymity to sin
- Remember the Sabbath day by taking one day off a week from your blog
- Honour your fellow-bloggers above yourselves and do not give undue significance to their mistakes
- You shall not murder someone else's honour, reputation or feelings

- You shall not steal another person's content
- You shall not give false testimony against your fellow-blogger
- You shall not covet your neighbour's blog ranking. Be content with your own content
