We've had a lot of new folks join up recently. Welcome aboard, this thread is a gentle reminder of some basic posting guidelines. (And for some of you old timers as well) Please read the follow, and ask any questions. We will all try to help you out.


SEARCH

If it's a breaking news topic, check breaking news first, it's probably already posted.

To avoid duplicate posts, please search before posting. Use the published article title to prevent duplicates. The best method to search is to pick a key word or two from the title. If the article you are posting is, "Dan Rather Memo", start with 'Memo' for the key word. If it is a hot topic, you might want to use two or more keywords, in this case, try 'memo rather'. For an effective search, select 'match all words' and select 'order by post time'.

Search Memo


Vanities and General Interest.

General/Chat

All non-sourced non-news threads are posted here. This doesn’t mean your one thought is a thread by itself. Lately, we have been seeing articles posted that should be comments made on the main article. Your comment/vanity article will be pulled or moved to General/Chat. Vanities should be limited to the mission of Free Republic.

Bloggers & Personal

Our new Bloggers & Personal forum is for:

Click on the "Bloggers & Personal" forum link on the Forums sidebar of the latest posts pages.

Hopefully, this will become a very popular forum for promoting and or discussing blogs and personal opinion/news/forum pages.


And lastly, please bookmark this excerpt only list, Jim updates frequently.

Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints

We will pull unlinked threads that might violate the excerpt rules. Don't try to get around it by not posting a link. Please follow the rules so Jim doesn't have hassles.

There is virtually no reason for a newbie to post ANY new threads at all. I have been here 4+ years and I almost never post new articles, because others have it covered. My tagline says it all.

Also when posting articles by Ann Coulter or Michele Malkin please post pictures..

I believe the picture rule has been amended to include articles in which the Bush twins are mentioned as well.

Thank you all for your help.

Your advice worked, I am connected to the message board, and now I can negotiate my way around here like a (pretend) Pro.

It's not very important in the scheme of things , but it means a lot to me.

Thanks.

Being somewhat new, it's good to have this info posted from time to time...

But it amazes me that there are 175+ replies to it!

Interesting folk around here....no wonder I keep coming back!

post additional tips and links here.

Seems obvious that there should be a big, can't-miss link to this thread (or something like it) -- along with a link to SEARCH (to avoid duplication) -- at the top of the "Post Article" page.

How quickly they forget, huh? That IS you and me!

It was a picture taken on the same day that we got together with three other blonde freepers (McLynnan, Rita89?...oh, darn it was a while ago, and I forget) for a "The Dose" Blonde Bush Babes photo!

Thanks for the ping, annie!

I'm in HI visiting Mom.

All the best! NordP

Vanities and General Interest.

General/Chat

All non-sourced non-news threads are posted here.

If so, why is there still a "Your Opinions/Questions" Topic in News/Activism?

We can't moderate every thread instantly.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
