Marlene Bridges mentioned to becareful about blogging that what you write about on the internet can be there forever.
Jeff Dowler suggested to always ask your clients what type of communication they are comfortable with voice, voicemail, email or text messaging.
Always be extremely polite in emails as the receiver has no way to know the intent weather it be humor, sarcasm or any emotion.
