Some rules for the comments section

If you're going to comment on any of our fine blog pieces, please remember the following:

1. NO phone numbers (prevents crank calls, protects privacy)
2. NO "If you go to _____, it says..." (shilling/promotion)
3. NO Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say On Television (swear words)
4. NO attacks on other posters

One comment that we deleted had a person's cell phone number on it, and we consider that a breach of privacy, even if it is perfectly safe number - not to mention an open invitation for prank calls. Don't put in email addresses, either - those meddling kids may take it and you might find yourself inundated with emails for "male enhancement" pills or offers from Morgan and Taylor to "join them for fun" at $2.50 a minute. Or worse, your computer goes kablooey from nasty spyware after you click an innocent link for cursors.

So, be careful out there, eh?

How to link to our posts

Someone in the comments asked us how to link to our posts. We use Blogger, which is absolutely free; your favorite blog entry program will also work (and even though we work with Windows, this can also be done in Mac and Linux).

1. Pick a post and click on it.
2. On the top of your web browser, there should be a bunch of text on top, beginning with http://onlyinboston2.blogspot.com. The entry should be also there.
3. Click the text, and all of it should be highlighted.
4. Right click, and then click COPY. Tip: Paste this entry into Wordpad or Notepad.
5. Write what you normally do, then select any text you wish.
6. Click the LINK button (in Blogspot it's right between the T with the color checkerboard and the left justify alignment). This will bring up the URL board.
7. Paste the link by right clicking and then clicking PASTE.
8. Publish...and you're all set!
9. Please tip your host.
