As we all know, there are ethics for just about anything these days. Its as though people need rules and guidelines to understand what is the "right" thing to do. The same goes for the blogging world. There are Code of Ethics out there, which don't get me wrong I think they are a great thing. I have taken a look at "Bloggers Code of Ethics" and Fashion Blog Ethics Video to get more information as I begin into the world of fashion blogging.
I found out a lot of great information, some was common sense, but none the less I found out some useful information. I discovered that sometimes the more well known your blog becomes, then you could receive gifts. This has been a big debate whether or not you should receive them. I believe that you should indeed be able to receive them as long as you gift credit to that company on your blog in special thanks. I think this gives them great advertisement, as well as you being to network with others around you. Some people disagree with receiving gifts, but I really see no harm in it as long as you give acknowledgment to the proper people.
I also learned that blogging can be great as long as you give the proper people credit for their work. If you are quoting an article or sharing things you found then you must be honest. For example as I search at different wedding ideas, I would never want someone to take and idea that I came up with of their own. That would be considered stealing. Also as I attach photos I want to make sure the link is targeted back to the proper person. Blogging can be fun and not bogged down with all these rules. I for one don't want to make anyone mad and you really have to be careful because what you write or post is put all over the internet for the WORLD to see.
