Understanding Blogger Terms Of Service And Content Policy Is A Must

Often appears a lot of questions in Blogger help forum that is actually quite strange. For example: Why did Blogger delete my blog?. Such question should not have appeared in Blogger help forum, if, the blogger do one thing well before publishing its blogs. What is it?, Blogger Terms of Service and its Content Policy. These are two important aspects that should be understood in advance by bloggers. But this is not infrequently overlooked.

When you (whether you are going to start blogging, newbie or those of you who have been blogging for years) opening the page of Blogger Terms of Service, then you will find this excerpt in the first paragraph:

Before you begin using Blogger, you must read and agree to these Blogger Terms of Service ("Terms of Service") and the following terms and conditions and policies, including any future amendments (collectively, the "Agreement")

Without further elaborated, in fact, the Blogger TOS excerpt above already provide clear information that it should be read and agreed. This fact is strengthened, generally a TOS or an agreement, by just a word in a phrase "you must read and agree" that is very binding, namely the word: Must. As one of Google's products and services, Blogger TOS was referring to Google TOS. And if you'll be blogging in an ethical way and not get stuck in a strange question as above, then Blogger TOS should not be ignored.

Next up was the Blogger content policy, this is a page of notice from Blogger to public, which of two terms or words in it, already reflect an aspect that should not be overlooked by bloggers. But in fact, whether intentionally or not to be missed. In fact, in a separate point of view, this Blogger content policy is more essential for a blogspot's blogger than Blogger TOS (without ignoring that these two regulations are very important and a must for a blogger).

Why is more essential?, because Blogger's content policy is a fundamental rule, which serves as the basis and determine what content you want to explore in your blog. As an obvious example, there often occurs a blog be deleted by Blogger due to its blog, for instance, offers a free download for warez. They or blog authors do not realize that this could lead to copyright infringement, and it can be said because of something trivial, they do not read and understand Blogger content policy first.

Indeed, Blogger is a free service for communication, self-expression and freedom of speech, but that does not mean a blogger can do arbitrarily. Blogger keeps directing everyone to an ethical blogging.
