Welcome to the Republic of Blog.

Web publishing in general and blogging specifically have obliterated the barriers that used to prevent people from expressing themselves. Today, the means of expressing yourself on a blog are available to everyone.

This site is a guide and will hopefully be a community dedicated to navigating this new democracy: the Republic of Blog.

I’ve got some ideas for pushing this ideal forward and welcome other suggestions and contributions as well.

• A guideline/charter document claiming the rights and outlining the responsibilities inherent in participating in this new republic.
  • Those who are willing to endorse the document would be able to claim citizenship.
• An award for bloggers who are serving as shining examples of how citizens of the Republic of Blog do things.
• A place for me to write about my experiences blogging. I don’t like to write *about* blogging on my other blogs. This site is a place for those thoughts.

  The Republic of Blog is a metaphor for how blogging has created a democratic publishing platform for millions of people. That democracy means that those who choose to be citizens get certain rights. It also means that responsible citizenship carries certain responsibilities as well. This site exists to help people find their own way to participate.
