Perfect, brother Jim.

Humblegunner: we now have a complete and solid guideline, and support for the elimination of the blogpimpers. Blog people? They are fine. Blog PIMPERS? Skull and crossbones.

Jim, I’d like to point out something else as well. Posting the full text on FreeRepublic can raise the article’s visibility across all search engines as well, drawing even more reader’s to the bloggers work. And of course, the bigger the article, the more words to catch search engine traffic with.

Frequently, I’ll find a search engine reference to a post on FreeRepublic before the search engine has even indexed the article on the original site.

[Jim Robinson]

Great point!

Thomas Jefferson:


“Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny”

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”




Keep Free Republic independent, and YOUR VOICES will be heard!

Many times bloggers will post brief snippets only of their material and expect our readers to click on their link to get the "rest of the story" and then very seldom join in on the conversation that follows.

I hadn't noticed. ;-)

Ping!

Thanks for this post Jim.

Two powerful FReeper writers come to mind straight away, Bray and JohnHuang2.

Bray writes a wonderful column every Saturday, which is re-posted on the Sunday News show thread. I miss JH2's "My 2 Cents".

I know several FReepers who are also prolific writers. If some of them don't find this thread on their own, they're gonna get a ping or FR mail!

Is this where you apply to get promoted? Meritorious and/or posthumous options available or both! :-}

If its good enuf for HG .. next round is on him. ;-)

I have an empty blog that points here cuz I do all my dirty work here.

Bless the Mods too .. Keep on Keepin’ On!

[Servant of the Cross]

It would seem appropriate that the liberty-loving bloggers who abide by the rules get "certified".

Kind of like the "Good Housekeeping Seal Of Approval". I wonder who might serve as such an 'overlord'?

[BuckeyeTexan]

Right on. This is good for FR.

I’d like to point out one thing to potential bloggers. Our (FR’s) copyright, excerpt, and link-only policies still apply to blog material posted in full here. If your article includes someone’s copyrighted material, the mods may have to pull your article in order to comply with FR policy. Don’t be offended. The mods will likely allow you to repost your article with the copyrighted material properly excerpted or linked. Our mods are very reasonable about unintentional mistakes. (Well, except for Sidebar. I’ve heard he shoots bloggers for too many misspellings.)

Now who are the mods that I need to suck up to? My your hair looks nice today, Sidebar. And Admin Mod, you look like you’ve lost weight. What’s your secret? Oh, and Religion Mod, that was a very intuitive judgment call you made earlier. You have the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job. And, Jim, ...

Too much? ;p

I nominate humblegunner. Give him something useful to do in his spare time (if he has any).

[tomkat]

That's a *great* pic Onyx .. it's been duly purloined, thanks !   ;-)

[humblegunner]

Give him something useful to do in his spare time

I'm good with that, boss. It's already in my job description. ;-)

[hoosiermama]

Great idea Jim. Don’t know how many times have started reading a thread only to not finish it because of not wanting to click on an unknown site.

Also spurs discussion of a subject without MSM bias.
