The Etiquette of Blogging

When you write something onto a computer screen without seeing the audience who its designed for i.e. the people who will read this material - you have no real understanding or appreciation of how your words may effect them.
You have no moderating influences - like people's facial expressions or body languages which inhibit what you say. Comment and opinion pieces Do upset people.
Professional journalism, by contrast, aims (or should aim) to capture a detached manner, to be entirely free from value judgements and personal opinion. Writing about the audition process for POSH was a good idea i.e. what works or doesn't work in an audition situation.

We're aiming for online group version of an Actor's logbook with this blog . An actor's logbook should be a reflection on your creative process i.e about YOU - your process, what you learn, how you learn, how you create a role, what you discover etc etc. So should you exercise restraint and judgement before you post your thoughts to this blog? Absolutely!

So.. what do you write on this blog? In the first instance: research that is useful to everyone is a good thing to write about. What else should go onto this blog? Well how about we do a group brainstorm and we discuss and decide what other material goes onto this blog. Thank you Nico, you have inadvertently raised a very interesting area for discussion in the realm of student blogging.
