- Never disrespect anyone or anything in PECLG blog posts. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a person, an organization, or just a general idea. When you write your opinion on a topic, you don’t want someone making a stab at what you are passionate about. So, don’t do it to someone else. Try your best to make sure you’re not going to offend anyone in your posts.
- Don’t write about other people without permission; if you can’t get their permission, use first names or initials only. Never share someone elses last name.
- Always check over your post for spelling errors, grammar errors, and your use of words. Try pasting your post in a word processor first and using the spell checker or use an internet spellchecker before posting on the PECLG blog.
