The recommendation for bloggers carrying this banner is that they be
mindful before pressing the "Publish" button and that they ask this
consideration from their site's contributors - both other bloggers on their
site and visitors. Ask yourself before posting, I"s what I've written a
kiddush Hashem (a sanctification of God's name) or a chilul Hashem (a
desecration of God's name)?" If it's the latter, consider revising your
remarks to preserve your point, while minimizing whatever harm you may do to
your fellow. In other words, attack the idea, not the person, and do so
tactfully and respectfully.
With my limited computer knowledge, I couldn't figure out how to get the little banner of the Chofetz Chaim on my sidebar, but y'all should know (by now that I wholly support this initiative, and kudos to Jewschool for making it known among a far larger readership than I ever could have).
Update: Thanks to defen's highly superior blogging knowledge, I now do have the Chofetz Chaim on my sidebar. Thanks again, defen!

It's definitely a good thought, but for many the very fact that one writes a blog would constitute e a chillul H'Ashem
Prag, yeah, unless it's for a good purpose.
If it's to vent, then they should follow the guidelines.
Oh...guilt...if I could be reading blogs, you ask, why wasn't I writing a certain letter...?
Good question. Wellll...I have a long busride tomorrow!
I can walk you through linking the image to your sidebar. Interested?
Yeah, please!
Sorry it took so long.
Insert this...
[a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/halashon/"][img src="http://www.jewschool.com/shmirathalashon.gif"][/a]
...into your sidebar, but first, substitute <> for []. I chose the Torah.org Shmiras HaLashon webpage, but you could substitute any other page you desire.
Excellent! Thanks!
I dunno-it's working on this end. When I click it, it links to torah.org's shmiras halashon page.
Anyone else having problems with it?
My pleasure, TRW. :-) Anytime, really.
I don't really have a very high readership, but I'll steal the link, and hopefully be more careful before I press publish.
also, hi.
Hi, how did you get that chofetz chaim logo thingy? I've looked everywhere and tried defen's suggestion, but it didn't work.
i'd love to have it, thanks.
