To use the member blogs, you must follow these rules. There aren't a lot of them, but we have established a few to make everything run smoothly.
1) There is not going to be a minimum number of words rule, but we do ask that if you're going to start a new member blog that it be at least 300 words. Otherwise, please consider putting it in the forum. If this does become a constant problem, we may consider enforcing a minimum number.
2) All blogs must belong to the Twins. What this means is that all blogs must be about the Minnesota Twins or baseball in general. As time goes on, we may allow other sports postings from time to time, but this is a Twins blog and we want to stay on topic as much as possible.
3) You may post no more than two blogs per day. This shouldn't be a problem, but to keep the member blog from getting cluttered, we will be putting a limit on this. You can always edit a posting if you forgot to add something in.
4) It is fine to post a blog that you've written somewhere else, but it is not fine to post a blog simply to plug your own personal blog. You may post a link to your site at the bottom of a posting, but don't write a blog simply to gain readership somewhere else.
5) Please use good grammar. We do understand that mistakes are made from time to time as we do make them here, but please do not misspell words on purpose. In addition, no all CAPITALS or aLtErNaTe CaPiTaLiZaTiOn will be allowed. Bold and italics are allowed when posting, but please use them wisely.
6) Finally, in a blog you may not attack another user and we ask that any swearing be kept to a minimum. If this becomes a problem, we will change the rule to NO SWEARING and there will be punishments.
