Weblogs sound like a great way to have many people easily participate in the construction and updatng of particular websites. Creating a list of ethics which is mentioned in the site http://www.rebeccablood.net/handbook/excerpts/weblog_ethics.html
may be a good idea, but may not be neccessary. If users of a particular Weblog are taught the proper sighting and crediting policies when it comes to publishing and are trusted members of the business or organization then content problems shouldn't occur. I agree that the writer should point out if they are stating opinion or ideas of uncertainty. Facts on the web should be accurate since the Internet is such a widely used source of information today.
Any works used should be cited and content should be appropriate to the business.
As stated in the source http://www.webreview.com/2002/02_04/designers/index01.shtml
it is much easier to use Weblogs when others need to add content to a site instead of passing around an HTML file in which inexperienced coders may hurt the site while adding their information. Weblogs sound like they have a simple interface in which other people can easily add content without having to change around HTML code. Instead simple text boxes are available which automatically add the inserted content into the code of the page. This can help many businesses and even groups or clubs in which there are many members who may need to post announcements or constantly share ideas about upcoming events. Weblogs can make updating websites much more simple and efficient.
