Here are some guidelines on creating a good post:
- Topic must be local. Dylan counts, but just barely.
- No flames. Attacking people (unless they’re famous and deserve it) is simply not tolerated.
- No useless politics. Political threads are okay, but only if it’s a new viewpoint on a new issue. Otherwise, go hang out on the other 100 political blogs in town.
- Include links. If it doesn’t have a link, it’s probably not worth a post. As with all totalizing statements, there are exceptions.
- No self-promotion. Unless, of course, you’re doing something that everyone should know about. But let’s face it, that’s unlikely. If you want to suggest a link for one of us to write about, contact us.
- Be unique. A good post isn’t necessarily a rehashing of a daily newspaper story. A good post is an overlooked piece of information or a unique perspective.
- No HTML. You’re only allowed to use the bold, italics, and link buttons below. Otherwise, the site turns into a mess. We run a tidy house.
- Have fun. This is so important. This site is about having a good time.

Will a post need to be moved to the main page from the “meta page” before it can receive comments, or did I find a bug?

Oops, bug there. For now, no comments until the post is ‘accepted’. Thanks for the post, David — it’s promoted up to the homepage now.
