I think you will find there was a long running discussion on this that spanned across at least the academic blogosphere. That issue was one of citation...though I think the issue of ethics is a good one that has not, to my knowledge, been well explored.

I would tend to doubt that there is a blogosphere-wide standard of etiquette here (or on most matters, for that matter). I suspect that most people indicate that the post appears in multiple places, at least on the less-viewed blog. In some cases, they might also turn off comments in one place to try to concentrate conversation. In others, they might simply summarize what they have written something elsewhere.
I've generally used my personal blog to toss everything into, and often posts that show up on my course blogs, project blogs, etc., go there too. I haven't been consistent in how, or if, I've noted this, but have done summaries and full posts, with and without cross-links.

Hi all,
I have been wondering about what the social online norms are for reusing or reposting blog posts across different blogs. <--snip--->
