When I was introduced to world of Blogdom ( lazygeek was the first blog I visited, and I still have a lot of respect for the way he writes on contemporary media,films and entertainment), I was just thrilled at the way information and knowledge could be easily shared unparalled across barriers.
There are close to 150 million blogs, At the end of 2005 and start of this year - thats a remarkable count(and this count is still growing at an alarming pace), which shows the number of users who have increased rapdily in the last 1 year alone!
But it is extremely disheartening to know that todays blogs ( lemme stick to Indian bloggers alone)
1. rant more on their personal proficiencies.
2. steadily wage a war against their known, unknown compatriot.
3. Indian men and women relentlessly babble more on the bias against either of the sexes, than the other blogs around the world
4. People are always ready to be in a fighting mode, than appreciating the true sense (atleast to me) of what a blog can provide you - wealth of information and getting to know one another around the world. I've enough enough examples of post(s) that have done this, and Im sure you must have read a lot too, but I dont want to cite them here - just wanted to avoid them for the sake of showcasing negative fightings! :)
5. Well yeah, blog is your own space to write whatever you feel, but not at the cost of losing a warm token of friendship, and not definitely no, not a space to inundate your jealousy!
So here are few things that I can think of if followed as the Do's and Dont's can help to cherish lovely sharing of human epitome and values - through blogs!
1. Write a lot about entertainement - this is a fast paced world and people like something to freak off, it could be anything from funny experiences in your life, to a constructive criticism on your favorite movie stars, or even a review of a movie!
2. Avoid negative comments as much as possible. If you dont like the way a person writes dont crib or assault with your heartaching words. This will increase the chances of retaliation and call for unwanted jealousy.
3. Health is really becoming a concern to all of us. share more articles on how to lead a healthy life - it doesnt have to be original, as long as it provokes some thoughts on people's mind on how important it is to have a healthy life!
4. Appreciate your fellow blogger for anything written or anything that is creative or original. It could be a short poem, a story or anything that you associate with your daily life. But make sure that creative or even a forwarded writing of yours is constructive and beneficial to both you and the one who reads it.
5. Talk about the personal experiences but try to avoid the bad things that happen to you. That just pulls down morale of folks who read it.
6. Write on the various facets of life - how to improve in career, how to have a long lasting relationship, or even how to share the respect and intimacy with elders( sometimes it may be sentimental or even idiotic), this can always help you a lot!
7. Write more about inspirational and success stories of people - this motivates you a lot. Again this doesnt have to be original, as long as it helps you in gaining confidence
8. Finally, blog is a space to express your views that should give you a tickle, at the same time understand the reality - it will and cannot feed your stomach! So understand what is more important to you - there are far more profound joys in the world to endlessly talk about and be proud of - so be happy and have blogging as fun!!!

I agree that we need to be respectful to each other and encourage each other. Providing non-constructive criticism doesn't help.
But on the other hand, we can't ask a blogger to restrict the content to some specific thing. People are free to write whatever they want and we are free to read (or not read) whatever we want :)
