In searching on the site Buzz MachineI came across the article Blogging behind gauze. This writer speaks about how blogs can often be taken too serious and can be used against us even though we may be writing strictly for our own personal entertainment, and that of our readers. Basically, things that we write must be accuratly explained if we're writing about a specific instance, such as the current topic of Saddam Hussein's execution, as writen about in this blog. Also, the article suggests to not write about our boss's or anyone in high regaurd to avoid miswriting or leaving something to be found out by the wrong person. Ultimatly, we need to be careful what is said and be sure to keep it accurate and safe in topic.
What this takes me back to is the reason for the birth of blogs. Were they meant only for our personal use, maybe as journals, to jot thoughts down and bring them to the table for fellow readers? Or have these online posts come to be taken so seriously that we have to treat them as research papers?

Good ideas brought up here with regard to blogs and what there purpose is/should be. Maybe think about certain freedoms of speech and how they can be implied on blogs.
Blogging is a way to express your opinion on certain things that are going on around us, and issues that affect our society as a whole. For others to get offended by bloggs written by other readers seems controlable.Instead of people reading bloggs, they should read the actual article istead of getting offended by someones opinion that they dont even have to view.
