Magnanimity is a blog that I’ve recently been scoping out. The author and I have had a few email exchanges and “Mag” has been commenting here recently.

Welcome, Mag!

Today she posted one of the better, thought-out posts on Safe & Successful Christian Blogging: Thoughts & Tips. This is a must-read for all Christian bloggers or wannabes.

Some practical tips include:

• Guard “discussion” and people’s feelings. Be sensitive to when you’ve hurt someone with it. Be yourself, let your hair down, but think about readers…you are publishing. We can vent, but this is not a private journal.
• Create a safe community by linking to families who demonstrate a commitment to family with pictures, positive affirmations, and life building.
• Don’t be afraid to disagree with the writer or expand on what they say, especially after you’ve demonstrated good rapport on the site.

I encourage you to read her entire post in context. She includes some wise words of wisdom especially for opposite sex interaction and safeguarding.
