Thanks for the comments, folks!

Humblegunner, I must disagree with you, though...

I usually include hyperlinks, bullets, and the use of boldface and underlining in my articles. I lose these when I post them in full in Free Republic.

I love Free Republic... absolutely love it... but I prefer to use the excerpt approach when I repost here, because that way the article is always read the way I intended it to be read. I don’t do it “to get hits”... I don’t get any financial remuneration for doing so...

Although if I did, a real conservative would respect that desire and honor the approach. Some of our founders wrote for free (the federalist papers, for example), while others wrote for a living (Franklin and Paine were self-publishers; they lived on the sale of their written work).

Don’t fault writers who earn their living by writing; respect them!

Cheers,
JFD

Understandable, as those will never work here. Like this one: HTML Tutorial

bullets

• Nope, those don't work here either.

and the use of boldface and underlining in my articles.

Ditto those, they are impossible at Free Republic.

You're right, we should all be pleased that you utilize our forum to advertise your blog.

How could I have been so wrong.

It’s perfectly okay to post blog material here. Just don’t excerpt, and we won’t think you are trying to get hits using FR. Deal?

If you use the “view source” option in your browser, you can bypass having to do all the html coding and simply copy all the html and content and paste it into Free Republic.
