This is my very first entry into the Plime World. I did not succeed in adding an image. However, I think you would find the topic interesting enough to participate in the debate, here at Plime and at Squidoo.

Welcome to plime.

This is a very interesting topic and I'd love to discuss it. However it seems to be a link to your own blog and here on plime we do not link to our own blogs as "news". There is a thread under "forum" for that purpose, or you could of course start a thread to discuss any issue (like freedom, for instance) in the forum too.

(Suebe, you say this sort of thing much better, but I couldn't quickly find a place where you had done so, for me to cut and paste... Maybe you want to give your spiel to Rangoo as well?)

Oh I did not know that. I will take this to the forum. How do I remove it from here?

Hi, Rangoo. Welcome to Plime :)

Here's some links that you might find handy in avoiding some negative feedback in your future posts . . .

Plime FAQ (It's a work in progress)

Linking to your own website

Tips for new users

And finally, Post your blog here

Also, a theme picture would be nice :)

As for removing this from the news post, one swipe of my mighty sword and it shall be gone (it goes into the deleted pages area) This is accomplished by community members downvoting a post. If enough downvotes are received, the post is removed from the news page to the deleted area.

You can just repost the topic to the forum.

The community frowns on news postings to your own blog. You can post your own blog in your profile on your bio page.

If a blog entry is based on a news story, linking to the original source is preferred. Posts to your own blog in the news will definitely garner downvotes.

So, look forward to your participation here, and welcome again to Plime!
