Blogreading for Dummies

Rule #1: Blogs are for reading
Only for reading, not for reciting. If the writer wants the blog to be broadcasted, she/ he would have done a podcast instead. If you would like to tell others about an entry of someone's blog you have just read, it would be nice to send them the link to the blog, rather than reading out the entry.

Rule #2: Read the whole entry, not part of it.
As with all other writings, it is only polite that all of the author's intention is fully represented, and do not just read part of the entry and use those words against the author.

Rule #3: If you do not understand the entry, it means you are NOT the target audience.
Some entries are the author's personal experiences, which only a selected few may have the same understanding. Do not say the author is boring. Some entries may be written in a language you do not understand. But that does not mean the rest of the world does not understand. Face the fact, the entry is not written for you.

Rule #4: Do not ask the author the obvious.
If the entry is written in a language you do not understand, do not ask:"What did you write about?" "Did you write something bad about me, that's why you wrote in xxx language?" The answer is, "It's none of your concern." for the first question and "Yes." for the second.
I have another one. "Is this entry 'Blogreading for Dummies' written for me? And are you implying that I am a dummy?" Yes. But, you are only one if you ask the above questions.

Rule #5: Leave nice comments.
Comments are an indication that the author's entry is read and appreciated. However, the keyword here is 'nice'. If you do not agree with what the author says, and cannot write anything good, just shut up. This is the author's blog and she is entitled to his or her view. And, do not leave any comments if you can't follow Rules #2, #3, and #4.

I may add some more rules, but in the meanwhile, happy reading my blog. ;)

Author's comments: Yes, this is suppose to be a non English blog, but I have my reasons for contaminating my blog with this entry. Also for those who are curious about my English blog, this is how I write.
