About Blogs and Writing

The ProgressiveU Terms of Service states:

There are several features that allow you to connect with other bloggers. Of course, the blogs themselves allow you to discuss any topic with other people on the site. However, there are other features we have available as well.

Profiles

Sometimes we find it necessary to use the work of another in our writing. ProgressiveU allows that, however, we have strict policies regarding plagiarism and we follow all copyright infringement laws. Violations of those policies will result in the post being removed and/or your account being blocked.

Your blog should be long enough to cover the topic you want to cover. However, we do have some requirements and guidelines for the actual length of blog posts.

Blogs are frequently promoted to the front page by the Faculty members. These blogs are chosen to demonstrate to bloggers and guests the exemplary style of blogging is on this site. They are listed in chronological order, with the most recent blog at the top of the page.

There are many ways to promote your posts. Here are some suggestions:

• Put a link to your blog in your signature

• Invite your friends to sign up

• Add a link or feed to your Facebook, Myspace, MyYahoo!, etc.

You can re-post content that you have previously written, provided you have not transferred copyright to another party. When you re-post something that you have already posted elsewhere, please note in your post where it was previously posted.

In most instances, we say no, do not repost chain letters because they're of little progressive value. However, there are instances in which posting a chain letter is acceptable:

• If you have an impassioned reaction to the chain letter and wish to post it to highlight your commentary on the letter.
