We've had a lot of new folks join up recently. Welcome aboard, this thread is a gentle reminder of some basic posting guidelines. (And for some of you old timers as well) Please read the follow, and ask any questions. We will all try to help you out.


SEARCH

If it's a breaking news topic, check breaking news first, it's probably already posted.

To avoid duplicate posts, please search before posting. Use the published article title to prevent duplicates. The best method to search is to pick a key word or two from the title. If the article you are posting is, "Dan Rather Memo", start with 'Memo' for the key word. If it is a hot topic, you might want to use two or more keywords, in this case, try 'memo rather'. For an effective search, select 'match all words' and select 'order by post time'.

Search Memo


Vanities and General Interest.

General/Chat

All non-sourced non-news threads are posted here. This doesn’t mean your one thought is a thread by itself. Lately, we have been seeing articles posted that should be comments made on the main article. Your comment/vanity article will be pulled or moved to General/Chat. Vanities should be limited to the mission of Free Republic.

Bloggers & Personal

For all of you who have blogs or personal web sites or personal news or opinion or forum sites that you would like to discuss or promote on Free Republic, here's the place to do it.

Our new Bloggers & Personal forum is for:

Click on the "Bloggers & Personal" forum link on the Forums sidebar of the latest posts pages.

Hopefully, this will become a very popular forum for promoting and or discussing blogs and personal opinion/news/forum pages.


And lastly, please bookmark this excerpt only list, Jim updates frequently.

Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints

We will pull unlinked threads that might violate the excerpt rules. Don't try to get around it by not posting a link. Please follow the rules so Jim doesn't have hassles.

Two questions:

1. How do you attach pictures, etc.? Cut, copy and paste commands don't seem to work when posting things.

2. What does "ZOT" and "LOL" mean? Is there a glossary out there somewhere?

Perhaps you could consider revising the Post prep page to include an admonition to NOT CHANGE THE TITLE!

(Just a thought;'}

the admin moderator has only been here since 9/3/2001

If we were in Europe, that would be March 9, 2001. Thus the Admin Mod would have seniority. ;o)

Scroll up to the thread, there is a link called 'html sandbox'. You can practice all sorts of html tricks, including posting pictures. Click on my name for 'zot', scroll down a little. This thread, Fifth Edition of the Lexicon of FreeRepublic * * A helpful FR dictionary for newcomers * *, will give you a good list of lingo. LOL is "Laugh out Loud"
