Blog Safely and Generally

While blogging offers people the freedom to express what they feel, it would be best to keep them as broad as possible. Reason behind this is to avoid any libel problems that may come their way from making gestures focused on one area. People or groups who may be cited at one point or another may not be pleased and may call it an attack against their overall being, a reason for them to take such articles as moral damages towards a person or groups overall character.

Blogging has been something that is on the hot seat lately. While it was never viewed as something that people could use as an instrument or weapon to make attacks on viewpoints from their own, the unknowing public who has less or no knowledge at all would take it against the author. Such has been the rising cases that have hit and lambasted blogs for existing.

Regardless, it would be better to keep a low profile and make general all viewpoints for the meantime. Should there be a need to make hyperlinks or citations then so be it. It is better to be on the safe side of things.
