Site Rules

I’ve updated this page to cover the basics of using my site, linking, commenting, and privacy.

There seems to be a lot of confusion on what is considered good blog etiquette.  To take the confusion out of it, I’ve taken some time to jot down a few things I think might help you.  You can also consider this official notice on how to behave on my little home on the net.

Privacy
If you register/comment on this site, I do not sell or give away your information to 3rd-parties. Your info is strictly used for communication and registration. If you subscribe to my blog, you can un-subscribe at anytime by clicking the subscribe link above.

Linking
I am always flattered when I discover blogs linking to me. Anyone is welcome to link to me from their personal site if they so wish, you do not need my permission.  However, links to sites intended to generate business, search engine rankings, or porn are NOT allowed and will be deleted. I reserve the sole right to decide what isn’t appropriate for my site. I do not currently publish my blogroll. That may or may not change in the future.

Comments
First time comments are held for moderation. Commenting on my blog is encouraged and welcomed.  Once you leave a comment, it becomes my property. As a registered user, you always have the option of managing your profile and comments thru the WordPress control panel. Whether you agree or disagree with me is not important as how you behave. You can vehemently disagree w/me without being ugly, mean-spirited, or flat out hateful. I rarely delete comments as I like to get perspective on my madness.  That said, direct attacks or anything that falls into the above mentioned no-no’s gets deleted w/o a second thought. If I deem your behavior to be inappropriate, I will usually try to warn and offer you a chance to “be nice.” Continued bad behavior will get you banned. To date, I can count the number of people I’ve banned from this site on one hand (with the below exception).

Spam
You are not allowed to spam this site. Any content deemed by me to be spam is automatically deleted. I have several spam blockers running on this install of wordpress and it auto-blocks IP’s associated with bad behavior.

That’s pretty much it folks. I might not be the “norm” when it comes to bloggers, but I try to fall back on two axioms that seem to serve me well.

1. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. *Read it again*
2. Don’t make assumptions.  Ask, if you have a question or are unsure what to do.

Happy blogging!
