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. ;-)

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'?

I don’t know why, but I thought our old friend Arlen might want to read this thread.

Oh I know HG, self-appointed policeperson of those who Blog.

Let me say this, I have no problem whatsoever with posting my entire Blog post on a FR post. I might get some extra hits to my Blog when I put a post up on the Bloggers forum but they’re not all that many, FreeRepublic needs to get over itself.

I am a regular commentator on FreeRepublic, generally well like and appreciated for my thoughts and ability to express, and have been a member for some ten years.

BUT....I CANNOT post my entire Blog post on FreeRepublic. The way this web site is configured it just does not accept a lot of the code included in Blog posts.

Which is not to say, I caution, that there isn’t a way to post just the text of a Blog post or to make the Blog post fit I must suppose.

For now, however, for me, believe that it’s really not worth the bother.

I am quite interested in the notion of using FreeRepublic as more than just a place for comments on news articles. There’s a plethora of talented people on this site and I think getting some of that writing and inspirational ability on a page more accessible to people (as opposed to just comments) is a great idea.

I’ll keep my mind open.
