Apr 02, 2010 admin Blog,speakers 2 Comments

Do you know the difference between a competition and an illegal lottery? Are you up-to-date with the rules for reviewing products and using brand names on your blog? Did you know that there are things you need to know if you keep an email list of your readers?

Being a blogger makes you a kind of publisher and legal issues can arise even in a personal blog. In our noon half-hour CyberLab entitled “You b****! What you can and can’t say on your blog” we’ve got a legal expert/mummy blogger dishing out easy-to-follow advice, whether you’re running giveaways, doing reviews or just writing about your personal experience.

Gayle Trigg had her little girl in 2008 and quickly discovered the wonderful community online whilst on maternity leave. She had been dabbling in blogs since 2007 (albeit geeky legal blogs) and set up her personal blog in 2009. Find out which one it is at CyberMummy!

In her time offline, as well as being a mum, she is a solicitor with commercial law firm Wragge & Co LLP and specialises in Internet and data protection law. Her 10 years’ experience of helping organisations set up and run websites and manage information about individuals means that she understands the issues in having a presence on the Internet.

She is a self-confessed Twitter-holic, despite being convinced that she would never understand it. Back in 1999 she swore she’d never need a mobile phone; now, just try and take away her iPhone…

Welcome, Gayle! We look forward to your advice at CyberMummy that will keep us out of trouble with the law!
