Blogging guidelines

No matter what level of expertise you have with ebXML, we encourage you to create a blog on this site.

Create an ebXML XML.org Blog if your primary objective is to provide an ongoing journal to:

share your personal opinions and perspectives
relate your implementation experiences
provide updates from committee or user group meetings
recap conference presentations or webinars

Do not use Blogs if your primary objective is to:

provide links to other pages (use News, Resources, or Events instead)
promote company news or commercial announcements (use News, Products, or Services instead)
ask a question or start a discussion (use Forums instead)

Inappropriate blogs will be removed from this site.

Naming your blog

You may designate a special name for your blog by editing your ebXML XML.org profile. If you don't designate a blog name, your userid will be the default.

To name your blog, simply log in, click on your userid in the upper right corner, select the "Edit" tab, and complete the "Blog title" field at the bottom of the page.

Each post you make to your blog will be published under its own title and under your blog name.

Blogs hosted on other sites

If you write or can recommend an ebXML-related blog hosted on another site, please add a link from our Blogroll page.
