Anyone Have a Blogger Guide to Ethics?

Just so you know, I’m constantly on the prowl for information on blogging. What I find, I share with you so we all learn something. One thing I’ve been looking for, is at-least mention of an ethics guide for bloggers.
I’ve learned about trackbacks and have been going through all of my old posts to make sure that I take advantage of trackback urls by other bloggers I’ve linked to. While the blogger has supplied the trackback url, meaning to me that they want you to use it, I noticed that some of my posts have pinged those articles already. I’m not sure if it did its job since it wasn’t the specific trackback url supplied, so I updated articles with correct trackback urls.
If any blogger notices a second trackback from me and they’re not a happy camper, I’m sorry. Mark it up to my inexperience as a blogger, but keep in-mind that it was my wish as a business person to make sure that I take advantage of all opportunities that I can to expand. I’m sure they’ll understand, hopefully…
