what is a blog
rave4123 asked:


I am not sure what the legal ramifications are. If I mention someone’s name in my blog (without being libelous or slanderous towards them) do I need to ask for their permission?
Dave87: Thanks for your answer. My blog is focused on community improvement - getting some sidewalks and walking paths built in my community. Would this be considered a matter of public record?
