Ten Commandments for Blogging Believers

If the Vatican can issue 10 Commandments for drivers, I have no problem canonizing the Ten Commandments for Blogging Believers: 

(In NKJV, of course):

1. Thou shalt have no other blogging platform than WordPress (or in rare exceptions, Typepad, but that's where we draw the line).
2. Thou shalt not make for thyself an idol out of thy blog, thy blog's Technorati ranking, thy blog's Feedburner stats, thy blog's Analytics, Metrics, etc, etc.
3. Thou shalt not fail to map thy domain name from the beginning (and make it simple).
4. Remember to configure your blog to ping Google, Technorati, etc. or you must do it manually to keep it holy.
5. Honor thy aggregators, and the bloggers who began before you, last month.
6. Thou shalt not kill thy blog when disillusioned due to traffic drops or bounce rate stats, but let it live on through it's long tail.
7. Thou shalt not commit comment time elsewhere, when posting at home is what counts.
8. Thou shalt not steal without acknowledging the correct Creative Commons attribution (or at the very least a HT).
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness when joining all the Web 2.0 social networking sites. 
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's themes, presentations, archives, subscribers' lists, etc.

Sometimes you've just got to take your blogging seriously.  But not today.
