This is not a list of common courtesy rules or a blogging code of conduct, but simply a few rules I use to help me make the best choice whenever there is a big descision to make.

Bloggin can be such an impulse-driven tool that caters to instant gratification that follwing these laws and thinking before you act could save some greif later. Good pointers.

Nothing revolutionary here, but then wisdom never really feels like that does it. Nice post.

Ha Ha Ha Ha, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve awoken the next day and thought "did I buy those domains?"

Good advice and I’ll add something else. Never spend money online without checking with the peers you respect who have probably already tried what you’re considering and can offer some great experience.  Why pay for mistakes when you can learn from someone else? You’ll also get a lot more out of whatever you do decide to spend money on.

I have to add in "Not to write when you are angry or upset".  This can come back and kick you in the butt because you tend to write on your emotions towards an individual, company, product etc. The next day you think back and ask yourself, why did I write that?
