It's right next to that excerpt button you mashed.
We are not your hit farm.
I still don’t get the attitude. You want people to provide substance to Free Republic that draws hits for Free Republic, but you demean those who would provide substance in return for a visit to their blog. Seems kind of one-sided to me.
Please don’t get me wrong. I do not sense hostility from you toward me, and I harbor none for you. I appreciate your input on this matter. I have been a member of many forums and have seldom witnessed strict restrictions on linking to one’s own blog as long as it is to something substantive. Usually forums see that as beneficial for their members and the forum itself. (Mind you, I am fairly new at blogging and just had my thread on Hannity’s forum deleted because I linked to my blog even though I provided pretty much the same intro as here. Evidently they are even stricter than here at Free Republic.)
Tell me. Is what you say from the legitimate rules (can you point them out to me - thank you in advance), or a sort of group agreement among members, or just your personal opinion.
I have much content of substance to contribute to Free Republic, but it is also a lot of work to produce. I don’t think a reciprocal link directing traffic to the majority of that substance is much to ask, but of course it is not my forum so I can’t make those decisions. I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes.
Again, thank you for your responses. I very much appreciate them.
