Where to find my blog?

There are many ways to promote circulation of your blog. But why would you want to socialize your blog? You may want to have others give you feedback on your writing, you may need a market to sell your goods, you may have a cause that needs to be heard or you may have sponors or you may just have an ego that is out of control. Some may not want to "promote" their blogs and some simply must.

You can begin by going to the Blogger™ dashboard "settings" and clincking "yes" to let your blog be listed. Additionally, you should click on Weblogs and register your blog. Next you can do a blog search from your dashbord and visit sites that use the same tags as you. If you find a blog of interest, leave a comment with a linkback.

Then after you have the pleminaries finished, you can use the Blogwise - Blog directory.

Do You Know Your Blogger Rights?

Everyone who uses the internet needs to be informed of the laws of cyberspace, intellectual property rights, the new legal precedents in copyright laws and the the battles in debate now. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is a nonprofit group of passionate people — lawyers, technologists, volunteers, and visionaries — working to protect your digital rights. You can join to support their efforts, you can sign-up for newsletters, you can comment on their blog, you can comment on your blog, and you can edit and post from the site under the Creative Commons Liecense.

EFF is fighting hard for bloggers' rights. We've created the Legal Guide for Bloggers, we're litigating the reporter's privilege for online journalists, and we are working hard to defend bloggers' rights to free expression, political speech, and anonymity. EFF: Fighting forBlogger's Rights. If you're a blogger, this website is for you.

EFF's goal is to give you a basic roadmap to the legal issues you may confront as a blogger, to let you know you have rights, and to encourage you to blog freely with the knowledge that your legitimate speech is protected.

What's next? Threats by the Blogging Commission?

Do you know Your Blog Will Be Investigated Soon? Written by John Samples, this letter dated Febuary 10, 2009 appeared in American Spectator in the May 10, 2005 issue. This article/letter also appeared on the Cato Institute's website on May 11, 2005. Is this bogus letter akin to Alvin Toffler's Future Shock as it may be so overwhelming and inconceivable to accept as a factual reality already with momentum? Do you remember what it felt like to read this book? Or is it more like the fiction of Alvin Toffler's Third Wave?

Is there a chance that the future of surveillance by any number of government agencies could be forthcoming to the blogosphere? Federal Election Committee, Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, IRS, Homeland Security?

Good grief, did someone dig up good old Herbert Hoover?
