"Blog flogging is not nice. It's also not news. I have a blog. I have never mentioned the URL for that blog on Free Republic. It stands on its own merits. Please don't flog blogs here"

From your own profile page: However, I expect every person to treat every other person with a certain degree of courtesy and respect, unless that person behaves in a dangerous, threatening, or discourteous manner.

She posted it in Bloggers & Personal so let it be.

Actually, it was moved to Bloggers and Personal from News/Activism, where it was first posted. When I wrote my response, it was still in News/Activism.

As I said, I have a blog, too, but I'd never post about it in the News section of Free Republic. I'm not silly enough to place my own blog on the level of News. It's just a blog.

Posting info about your own blog, or your husband's blog in News is blog flogging. It's not news that someone has a blog.

Apparently you arrived after the thread had been moved.

For your edification, I found this on Free Republic's Home Page:

Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience. Free Republic is a noncommerical site. Please do not post advertising, solicitations, spam or any other commercial messages. Do not spam us with links to your own site. No one likes spam.

It's written down. Further, there was nothing impolite about my post. I even said "Please."
