Lately I’m having people leave promotional comments on my blog.<\/p>\n
Things like… “Oh, hey…that’s great…now why don’t you come check out my blog and my books.”<\/p>\n
FYI.\u00a0 This is rude.<\/p>\n
If you’re a writer, you should be able to figure out a clever way to catch attention, which will then entice people to click on your name.\u00a0 If you can’t do it that way…well, you’re not going to do it the other way, not on my blog.\u00a0 Sorry.\u00a0 It annoys me.<\/p>\n
So I’m pondering a new comment policy.\u00a0 If people leave promotional comments, I think I might reserve the right to edit them as I see fit…things like<\/p>\n
“come check out my blog…”<\/p>\n
They will become…<\/p>\n
“come check out my boogers…”<\/p>\n
Childish on my part?\u00a0 Hey, maybe.\u00a0 I can own my childishness.\u00a0 But, you know… it’s kind of childish and unprofessional to spam somebody else’s blog.<\/p>\n
