Let’s Learn

Posting Netiquette.

When posting online, you should always follow the ‘Posting Netiquette’ – a set of rules which
not only encourage respect towards one another, but also protect us from other users who
might wish to harm us.

Thanking your readers.

One of the rules of the Posting Netiquette is that you should always thank people who have
shared positive comments on your post.

Replying to messages.
A follower (a user who reads our blog posts) might send us a personal message. This message
could be about congratulating or thanking us. Replying to the user is not only about being
polite, but also about showing that we respect them. There are, however, cases when a user
might disagree with our opinion. That doesn’t mean the user hates us.
