Blogging with Integrity

The Badge

While I was doing my usual blog/website surfing, I got a chance to take a look at this site regarding Blog with Integrity. Whatever we blog about, be it sharing one's experience or doing a paid post, we SHOULD blog with integrity as our readers look forward to meaningful and informative posts.

Here is their manifesto on blog with integrity.

By displaying the Blog with Integrity badge or signing the pledge, I assert that the trust of my readers and the blogging community is important to me.

I treat others respectfully, attacking ideas and not people. I also welcome respectful disagreement with my own ideas.

I believe in intellectual property rights, providing links, citing sources, and crediting inspiration where appropriate.

I disclose my material relationships, policies and business practices. My readers will know the difference between editorial, advertorial, and advertising, should I choose to have it. If I do sponsored or paid posts, they are clearly marked.

When collaborating with marketers and PR professionals, I handle myself professionally and abide by basic journalistic standards.

I always present my honest opinions to the best of my ability.

I own my words. Even if I occasionally have to eat them.
