We have seen myriad posts about Blogging Rules around the Internets last year and we tried to stay away from the conversation as much as we could – because, frankly, these posts are typically made of…GAAH. List after list of what a blogger should or should not do: how to behave, how to contact who and when, how to get ARCs, how NOT to blog for ARCs, how publishers CARE about what we do, how publishers DO NOT care about what we do, how being concerned about hits is WRONG, how Marketing is EVIL, how doing giveaways and blog tours are akin to skinning one’s cat, how we need to be more critical, how we need to be less critical, how blogging should be FUN, how blogging should be PROFESSIONAL. Wanna know what we think? You gotta do what you gotta do, dudes. Forget what other people say and do your thing. That’s all.
