Jean-Paul Borda, blogging from Afghanistan, has posted his “golden rules of milblogging.” As always with this type of advice, it’s actually more like “How to blog like me” than a set of eternal rules, although “Don’t tell readers about military plans” probably holds pretty well across all types of milbloggers. And much of it transposes nicely for us civbloggers.

Of course, I already seem to have violated rule 11: “Don’t just put references to other milblogs in your milblog as a substitute for writing. Do you think the readers are that stupid? They’ll figure out that you have nothing to write about soon enough.” [Technorati tag: milblogs]
