Lots of posts around the blogsphere on this. But the best one I’ve read so far is over at Blacknell.net:

WELCOME
I learned a lot about politics as the result of my run for City
Treasurer. This blog is my way of staying in touch with those who supported me and reaching out to those who did not.
The primary focus of this blog is Norfolk politics. Of course, you can't talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so sprinkled in are some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820
I hope you enjoy your visit!

I do think the blogger sets the tone. Your blog is a place where people come to discuss serious ideas in a serious way. And, BTW, hope you get some SLEEP after this whole tax-season thing winds down!
What is sleep?
Bloggers build an unwritten code merely by blogging. You develop a tone and show who you associate with and view as sharing such a code through who you link to in your posts and blogrolls. I think that is the best code one can do, just by providing solid content and hyping other places to find respectable blogging.
I think Jason has hit on the key to it all. Wise words.
