Are Comment Policies Necessary On Websites?
Jeff Chandler made up a good review on how to use comment policies on your website referring to a blog post on blogherald. This let’s me rethink my websites for security reasons. Is it time for further policies in addition to privacy policies, terms of use and co? Many forum sites also have moderation policies to accept before being allowed to post a thread. What happens to those blogs and other websites, which ignore this new guidelines? These are questions I would like to discuss here, so:
Question: Are comment or discussing policies really necessary for blogs?
There are many examples. Some longer and some shorter. You might want to get inspired and check out some new ideas.
Update: In addition to this post, we found an easy way to implement the policy into the comment form.

There is also a good article at sitepoint about how to code html email newsletters.

Quicklink: Free Webhosting with PHP and MySQL database
Just wanted to drop you all a quick line about Freezoka, a Free PHP Web Hosting Company that I stumbled across while surfing the web this morning. Some of the things that they offer include:
- No banners or pop-ups
- 300 MB space
- 10 GB bandwidth
- 7 MySQL databases
- PHP 5
- phpMyAdmin
- Add-on domains
- Lots more …
Not bad for free, right? Be sure to check out their terms of service.
It’s surprising how many emails I get from Knowtebook users that are trying to start a business online, but don’t have their own Website or Domain. Having your own website and brand is crucial for succeeding online. While I know lots of you are creating blogs and websites as a hobby, the low-cost investment that your own website makes can really improve your brand and image.
