Blogging Ethics

Who knew there were actually ethics to blogging? Blogging is a new experience for me. I am still trying to figure out the ropes so to speak. After reading the article on Blogging Ethics I agree with the author that quotes, whether in blogs or in another form of writing, give a reader the knowledge and understanding of where the author is coming from. I feel that quotes are an option in writing or blogging, but if done correctly will only add to the point. I also agree with the author that it is "a great opportunity to talk about the issues of plagiarism and fair use and copyright" (no pun on the topic). Having links and being able to bring the reader to other worlds is what this is all about. Since technology is increasing and books are slowly being included in this expansion it is even more important to be able to hold onto these other links, even if it is by using quotes.
