Blog Rules

Since the La Voz is dedicated to bringing about awareness of the Chicano/Latino community, I will use the following guidelines:

1.  The post must relate to political, social, cultural or educational issues that affect the Chicano/Latino community.

2.  The must be at least one piece of media along with the post, whether it is a photograph, YouTube video, flash, etc.

3.  Following up on Rule 2, since digital media will be presented, the post must also analyze and critique how the piece of digital media is utilized and its effectiveness to the topic presented.

4.  The post must in some way not necessarily be controversial, but rather ignite conversation among individuals that may have opposite opinions.  In doing so, the goal of the conversation is to reach an understanding of why someone may have a different opinion and comprehend the backgrounds that affect why an individual has a certain opinion.  I strongly believe that the more you analyze the opposite opinion, the more you will be able to analyze your own opinion and know its pros and cons.

5.  The blog will also provide links to sites that offer more information on the topic and quite possibly events in Orange County that are related to the posts.

These seem like good rules, and I like your use of images, video, and design elements. My only questions might be . . . should it be bilingual, and where is your blogroll?
