Ten Blogging Commandments

The January/February issue of Touchstone: a Journal of Mere Christianity informs its readership about a Decalogue for Christian Internet bloggers written by Britain's Evangelical Alliance. These "new" commandments reflect the Decalogue and are pertinent for blogging today.
1. You shall not put your blog before your integrity.
2. You shall not make an idol of your blog.
3. You shall not misuse your screen name by using your anonymity to sin.
4. Remember the Sabbath day by taking one day off a week from your blog.
5. Honor your fellow bloggers above yourself, and do not give undue significance to their mistakes.
6. You shall not murder someone else's honor, reputation, or feelings.
7. You shall not use the Web to commit or permit adultery in your mind.
8. You shall not steal another person's content.
9. You shall not give false testimony against your fellow blogger.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's blog ranking; be content with your own content.

What do you think? Do believers need to be reminded of how God's law relates to using the Internet?

Well, that's one of the nuggets I've encountered in my new issue of Touchstone. I'll continue reading and, no doubt, find some more.
