#1: Obey the Gaia ToS in your blog posts.

#2: The purpose of this forum is to share your raving adventures with us. Please try to keep as close to the topic of raving as possible; anything we discuss in a subforum is fair game, for instance. If there's an issue that's really important to you that you'd like to discuss in a blog post, feel free to do so, but save the random, unrelated anecdotes of day-to-day life for your Gaia journal or the Chatterbox thread.

#3: In the first post of your thread, please state whether or not you will allow other members to comment on your blog.
#4: You may post pictures in your blog as long as they are not excessively large. If your picture is bigger than 500x500 pixels (i.e., too big to fit in a Gaia signature), please post the picture as a link instead. You may also include ONE YouTube video with YouTube tags in your posts, if you so choose. If you're including more than one video, please link them individually.

#5: Please leave the first two posts of your blog thread as reserve space. If you allow commenting on your posts, your thread will fill up quickly and your blog posts may be harder to find. In this case, you may want to create a Table of Contents. When you post a new entry, link the post in your Table of Contents. You may also want to create a quick bio in the first post of your thread. Another good idea is reserving space for announcements about your blog, such as hiatuses or very important posts.

#6: Please respect the decisions of other members regarding commenting on their blog posts. If the owner of a thread wants or allows comments, you may comment. If the owner of a thread does not want or allow comments, you may not comment. DO NOT POST IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BLOG THREAD UNLESS THEY STATE THAT THEY ALLOW COMMENTING. See the About Commenting thread for further details.

#7: You may attach a poll to your blog thread when it is relevant to a recent post.

Thank you, and happy posting!!
