Biblia.com, un nuevo blog sobre la Biblia

Recibí un mensaje de los responsables de un nuevo blog que nació hace pocos días atrás.  El mismo se llama Biblia y allí pretenden que sea un sitio de reunión para pastores, líderes cristianos y cualquier persona interesada en el estudio de la Biblia.

3 Steps to Protect your Blog from a Big, Fat Lawsuit

Today was the first day of BlogINDIANA and it was fantastic. I did a lot of twittering from the event, and even ran a live feed for a little while.

The first session I attended really blew me away, it was on the legal aspects of blogging. The session wasn’t run by an attorney but by a blogger, Andrew Paradies, who really took note of all of the intricacies of the legalities associated with blogging. The topic was so compelling that I immediately edited my footer and added a Disclaimer to my Terms of Service page.
