Thanks for the welcome and your kind words.

I am new here, so I’m not yet sure what is or isn’t acceptable. I opened this account after speaking extensively about the upcoming Virginia 2013 governor’s race with another FReeper. He highly recommended the site and thought I would enjoy posting and discussing issues here with like-minded individuals. Right after that, I started writing for TheBrennerBrief.com and I’ve been rather busy ever since! I haven’t had much time to hang out here, on Twitter, Facebook or Twitchy (where I was commenting regularly) because the writing is taking up a lot of my time.

If linking to your own blog is frowned upon, perhaps you or others could share some ideas with me about how to grow my blog audience. I don’t know that I would normally be so bold, except I really believe I have an ability to write, it’s something I enjoy doing and I’m hopeful that maybe someday I’ll be able to make a career of it. To me, this is the entrepreneurial spirit conservatives admire, so I’m a bit dumbfounded FReepers would have a problem with it. But I suppose as I spend more time on here, I’ll gain better understanding of how it works and what’s expected of me. I’m a bit rebellious though, so we’ll see how that works.

By the way, you are the second person here to refer to another green-eyed “woman!” I can only imagine what that person’s posts were like (yikes!). Were you a fan? This individual apparently made quite an impression.

Thanks for taking the time to write and let me know that you liked what I wrote.

I hope you have a lovely evening!

MY *OPINION* as that as long as you post in Blogger & Personal (not breaking news e.g.) you can ignore the haterz. ;-)

AND i encourage you to reply to “admin” and “Jim Robinson” on this thread and straight up ask.

I am unaware of any policy, but can’t hurt to ask, and then you are armed with facts.

the prior “classy Green-eyed Blonde” IIRC was a scam. She was really a he who snookered a LARGE number of FReepers into ‘true love’ ;-)

To me, this is the entrepreneurial spirit conservatives admire, so I’m a bit dumbfounded FReepers would have a problem with it.

Allow me to explain.

We, the members of FRee Republic, fund this site with donations.

We do not do so in order to provide a free advertising platform for bloggers.

There is no reason you cannot post your own material in full, not as an excerpt.

Leave the excerpt button alone, it's not there for you.

Here are a couple of threads posted by our esteemed moderator staff on the topic:

A Suggestion for Bloggers Who Post at FR

The Pimp and The Poster (Mod Lecture Series)

So, given Jim's post above and the threads by the moderating staff, this should make things as clear as fine crystal.

Welcome aboard.
