Comment Posting Guidelines

I’m totally fine with the variety of approaches to comments – but, I want to communicate to readers of this blog where I stand:

I love comments on this blog – they are important and they add to knowledge and community. If you want to comment then you’re more than welcome – whether you feel you are a beginner or an expert – feel free to have your say.

I delete spam – I have spam filters in place which automatically catch the majority of automated spam comments. I don’t put up with it.

Relevant links in comments are actively encouraged – if you’re leaving a comment and want to point to a link on your own or someone else’s site that is relevant to the topic then please feel free to do so. This adds to the conversation and improves the blog.

Irrelevant links are not encouraged – if you leave a comment with a link in it that has no relevance to the post you’re commenting on it will be deleted. If you really want to annoy me then the way to do it is to do this on multiple posts.

I don’t want to be a pain in the butt to readers of this blog – but I don’t want to be used in ways that don’t add value to it or the community around it.

Thank you.
