You will be responsible for what you wrote, whether you are been paid or not. If you write to a friend, no body will care. But when you write a blog, you are writing for the world to read. The authority cares what you wrote. That is why not many people dare to become a blogger because you have to be brave enough.

The Information Ministry plans to set up blogs to disseminate information to and receive feedback from the public.
