smoking update:

Havent smoked today but used strong patch, and even better it was 27 degrees this afternoon in Alcala and 22degrees at about 10:00 summer has arrived.

There is a brilliant program on the proposed standard for blogs in UK. Link is through this link. Be quick cos I think its only on for about another 5 days. Interesting arguement of whether Blog code of practice shoudl exist, I think there are reports of cyber bullying and bad comments among some blogs in UK and elsewhere.

Personally, there is always a delete button and I donĀ“t think blogging should be another area where Governments can further curtail our Freedom of Speech.

One of the things which makes blogging unique is the free market in blogs if you dont like it you can choose another. My favourite blogs are linked on the side of the screen, and they themselves contain lnks to many wonderful pages.

I agree. People should, of course, be more civil with each other. But at the same time, any sort of binding system which obliges people to register their true identity will make the most significant power of blogging (whistle-blowing, dissent and criticism) impossible for many people.
 
Blogsphere is a place where dissent should remain sovereign, people may not like what they read but at least we all have the right to read it. It is too precious a thing to permit it to be covered by any regulations which impact on freedom of speech.
