To get more input, why don't we each paste this code on our own blogs instead of just linking?? I have many readers who perfer to read than click and many of us are syndicated via different blog services and will reach more bloggers that way. I'll plan to do that next week - I know many folks are away for the holiday weekend. <br/><br/>Your statements about anonymous bloggers is right on the mark. My blog doesn't deal much with colleagues or patients but for those blogs that do tackle those issue, it can get very tricky. I've discussed some of the legal issues with my own intellecutal property lawyer since last week's events unfolded and he loves the idea of this code and additionally suggested we all post some sort of legal disclaimer on our home page similar to what Dr. A has on his blog's home page and what is common on many health web pages including my own. As a health journalist, these issues are top on my mind daily. Here's the link to what my IP lawyer drafted for my web site:<br/><br/><a HREF="http://www.pediatricsnow.com/legal_notices.html" REL="nofollow">Pediatrics Now Legal Notices</a><br/><br/>(here's the url without the code incase I goofed: http://www.pediatricsnow.com/legal_notices.html...still learning html!)
