#51: Blogging Etiquette Part 1

• Ask for permission before you ask for forgiveness.
• When in doubt, don’t.
• If you saw it, and you tweaked it and put it on your site, it’s not yours.
• Look outside of your direct community for inspiration, not inside of it.
• It’s fair to be inspired; you can’t help be see something and like it and be inspired. Make sure you are not stealing; that you’re being inspired.
• Don’t go pissing people off in your community; whatever your community is.
