The Evangelical Alliance recently came up with the “Ten Blogging Commandments.” The Evangelical Alliance says they are loosely based on the genuine Ten Commandments from the Old Testament. The Evangelical Alliance says these commandments are “intended to cause bloggers to consider the social impact of their blogging.”
The commandments were released at Godblogs, a gathering held by the Evangelical Alliance. If you start breaking the 2nd commandment then your blogging has really gone to your head. Hat tip to J-Walk Blog who says he has alalert violated a few of the commandments.
- You shall not put your blog before your integrity.
- You shall not make an idol of your blog.
- You shall not misuse your screen name by using your anonymity to sin.
- Remember the Sabbath day by taking one day off a week from your blog.
- Honour your fellow-bloggers above yourselves and do not give undue significance to their mistakes.
- You shall not murder someone else’s honour, reputation or feelings.
- You shall not use the web to commit or permit adultery in your mind.
- You shall not steal another person’s content.
- You shall not give false testimony against your fellow-blogger.
- You shall not covet your neighbour’s blog ranking. Be content with your own content.

People can follow the rider’s travels online. Blogger Amit Gupta was one of the lucky ones to get one of Yahoo’s GPS photo bikes. You can see the photographs from Amit’s bike here. Sometimes the photos are dark but other times the photos capture scenery and people. Here’s the video from the AP about the bikes.

Otto, who is a well-known and respected WordPress community member has published this article regarding his commenting features. Check it out! There is a preview to the new 2.7 commenting system at that page too.
Here are some of the enhancements that Otto covers:
▪ Creating a 2.7 compatible comments.php file

We all know that commenting is one of the awesome features that WordPress is known for. Apparently the development team is taking this feature a step further by offering important feature upgrades like threading, paging and javascript enhancements.
I bet ‘ya this will result in better blogs as people can now interact intuitively from one comment to another.

The National Society of Newspaper Columnists is thinking about adding a blogging category to its annual awards contest.
At its recent meeting, the NSNC board of directors passed a motion to inquire the contest chair to present a proposal for such a category.
Current categories cover general-interest, humor, notes/items, and online writing. Award winners are announced during the NSNC’s annual June conference.
