People may think that when using a blog is not important how we use language, but it is really important. Just think about the hundreds of times you show up rude or impolite to people when you are using, replying blogs or when you simply post in someone's space. The same happens in the moment you speak to someone, or you write a formal or informal letters, the way you use language is called etiquette; in these virtual spaces you have to apply what is called Netiquette.
Netiquette is the series of rules you apply when your writing online in order to show a polite and coherent use of language. It also is useful because you want to be understood properly.
The following are the rules of Netiquette:
Rule 1: Remember the human. Even this is a cyberspace, remember there is another human being who is reading what you wrote.
Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior on-line that you follow in real life.
Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace.
Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth.
Rule 5: Make yourself look good on-line.
Rule 6: Share expert knowledge.
Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control.
Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy.
Rule 9: Don't abuse your power.
Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes
