The following is an excerpt from the forthcoming sefer Internet K'hilchasah by Rabbi Issur Gamor, which will IY"H be published this Spring by Akom Books. Due to hakachic issues discussed in the book, however, it will not be available for sale on our website. Chapter 127: Blogging and Shabbos 1. One who submits a post or comment on shabbos is chayiv mishum boneh. There are those who say that this is dependant on whether it is shabbos in the location where the blog server resides. Since we do not usually know this info , it is not meleches machsheves and therefore mutar. Aval l'aaniyas daati, the binyan occurs locally before the post is transferred. Therefore, one should not blog on shabbos. 2. Certain blogs are dedicated solely to attacking others. To post on these could be an issue only of soser, which is d'rabbanon. Therefore, if your post is a d'var mitzvah, yeish l'hakel al y'dei akum. 3. One should be careful not to post on erev shabbos samuch l'shkiya in order to avoid creating a michshol for readers. The amount of time before shabbos one must post is the time it takes for another to read it, formulate a response and respond. In our times, however, rov b'nei odom do not think before they respond, so we need not include this time. 4. One can print out a blog post before shabbos to read on shabbos. Some say this should not be done because it will cause you to be preparing your response on shabbos for after shabbos. Baal nefesh yachmir. A Freylichen Purim!!!
