Number 1: Why I Decided to Blog

So, hey. Thanks for stopping by.

If you're reading this, it means you were nice enough to come and check this place out. I don't really say that much in school, but outside of school it's near impossible to shut me up. I figured if there was going to be a place to talk, I might as well call it my own. So, this is where I'll be publishing my thoughts for a while, an undetermined amount of time as of now. I don't know how long this thing'll last, but I'd like it to keep going for a while.

And so, I figured I'd post something here in the first article called The Blogger's Code of Conduct. It was established by Tim O'Reily (among others) last year, and I felt like it deserved a place in this establishment somewhere.

1. Take responsibility not just for your own words, but for the comments you allow on your blog.
2. Label your tolerance level for abusive comments.
3. Consider eliminating anonymous comments.
4. Ignore the trolls.
5. Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so.
6. If you know someone who is behaving badly, tell them so.
7. Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say in person.

That pretty much sums up the blog in general, and essentially sets up the rule I'm placing on this blog. Don't post any comments on here until I figure out how the whole thing works; anything you want to say, you can say it on my facebook, which I'll be linking to this page.

That's pretty much it for now. Later!
