Don't have a cow cause I made up the word, "Blogetiquette". I was thinking last night about the fine line between keeping it real and taking close family and friend's feelings into account. Where do you keep the blogs real and where do you draw the line on what to post and what not to post. Tough call really. Last night I was frustrated about a certain event and I had epiphany regarding this matter. It sounds like a simple enough question, but the answers aren't exactly clear cut, nor is it black and white. Instinct tells you that friends and family comes first---as it should. Then upon careful consideration, you have to ask yourself about the purpose of blogs to begin with. To me it's an avenue to express my feelings whether it be something simple and seemingly mindless or complex and intrinsically deep and personal. One has to proceed with caution since your audience could change from strangers to close friends and relatives in no time. Of course you don't actually have to sacrifice one or the other. You should still share an important thought or event that's sensitive, but you might have to be more discreet and creative in how it's presented without calling out who you're talking about. Like take an event where a friend confides in you about a secret you can still share certain aspects of it without sharing the actual secret to everyone. It's certainly something to ponder and ruminate and if for anything else be aware of. Just a few more hours till I call it a day. I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday! =)
