Blog Qualifications

by George Schils.

A number of qualifications, clarifications, and other notes apply to blogs on this website. Some items are listed below.

Blogs vs. magazines. Many of my blogs are essentially no different from magazines. I use the blog format for some of the magazines on this website.
Blog items can be hastily written and not carefully edited, and as such errors and inaccuracies can easily occur.
Blog entries can be short spontaneous pieces of writing and they can be carefully edited and large pieces of work. The distinction is not always made and is not always clear.
Blog entries can also be significant pieces of writing that are carefully edited. A range in the quality of material can occur.
Blog entries can be edited after they are first posted. This is often to fix errors, typos, and grammar, although any kind of addition or alteration can be possible. The date specified may or may not reflect the date of this update. This depends on the discretion of the editor.
Other general or specific qualifications may implicitly occur even though they are not stated.

The notes on this page apply to blogs in general on this website. Individual blogs may have additional stipulations.
