I'm glad you think our guidelines are helpful. I'm not quite sure what we said that indicated supervisors would blog twice/month, though. We do ask our bloggers to commit to writing at least once per month, so their supervisors need to agree to that schedule. BTW, our bloggers are volunteers from all over EPA. Also BTW, our edits have been even lighter than the guidance says. I'm not sure we've ever even suggested changes for a policy reason, and legal issues have only come up a couple of times, and even then for pretty minor reasons. For example, to not mention a product by name so we avoid implying endorsement. Thanks for the review! I’m glad you think our guidelines are helpful.

The EPA's guidelines look really good and can certainly be used as a foundation for other agencies. I wonder how successful they are at making supervisors blog twice a month! Demerit? Nice post!
