Advertising
As of right now, paid advertising is not yet offered by this site. The ads on display are for shops and ventures that belong to the author, her friends and/or associates. In the future, advertising will be offered in the forms of subscription banner advertising and content sponsorship. When advertising becomes available, official advertising polices will be expanded upon.

Comments
** Comments that challenge the opinions and/or assertions made by the author are most welcome and will generally be allowed to remain unless a comment war ensures and becomes annoying.
** First-time posters of comments are always held for approval.
** Spam is deleted. Comments that do not address the post may be deleted.
** Self-promotional comments may be allowed to remain if they are informative in nature, but any accompanying spam content will be removed.
** Insulting or abusive comments may be removed or partially edited to remove abusive content.
** No comment will ever be altered to confuse the post intent.
** Posts are closed to comments automatically after 90 days and can also be turned off at the author’s whim.
** If all of this makes sense to you, you probably need counseling.

Comment Responding
Odds are, I said all I had to say on the topic when I blogged. I tend to look at comments as others providing additional insight, information, or opinion, not as a method of trying to engage me or further the discussion. If I don’t respond to your comment, I’m not ignoring you personally. Really. If I do respond, you probably said something that took my train of thought into a different direction or made me feel like I had to clarify. So long as you’re not a twat about it, that’s what comments are for.

Editorial Content
** This is a personal blog and all opinions expressed are those of the author. Neither the author, nor what I choose to write about are influenced by advertising that may appear on this site. It’s doubtful any of my content represents the beliefs of the advertisers.
** Some of the stuff posted here may not be 100% positive, but it will be 100% honest to the best of my ability. None of it has an agenda.
** I openly admit that friendships and business associations may present the appearance of conflict of interest — unless you actually know me and realize my friends get an even harder end of the honesty stick than strangers.
** Advertising has no influence upon the editorial content of this site, except for sponsored entries. While sponsored entries can insure items or issues are blogged, there are no other editorial allowances made for such.
** Editorial blackmail will not be tolerated in any form, however subtle. Attempting to cajole or harass me to engage certain topics will likely have unpleasant results of the “contents under pressure” variety.
** It is the responsibility of the reader to weigh my credibility against my policies and editorial content and determine the value for themselves. In judging such value, please note it’s easier to charm me than to buy me, and easier to seduce me than to charm me. Chocolate and caramel of high quality in any combination represent the only form of bribery that will be taken seriously — although unless you know me well enough to have my personal address, that’s really not going to be much help to you. Of course, when they figure out how to upload sweet treats via the interwebs, then I don’t think any blogger’s credibility will ever be certain again.

Link Requests
Link requests will be considered for any site that fits my current categories and/or interests, assuming you aren’t, you know, completely vile (ie - spamtastic, mindless, or drama in the bad way). If you’d like a link on my site, drop me an email or an IM and I’ll try and check you out and get you on the blogroll. Please do not request more than once per month. If I don’t add you it’s either a lack of time or an issue with aforementioned vileness.

Review Policies
** Solicited Items: If I have solicited you for review copies of your items and you have provided them, you can expect to see them reviewed here within 5 - 10 days of handing over the samples. I will try my best to let you know the review is up, but often I have the memory and attention span of … oh, look a shiny thing! If you do not see a review within a reasonable amount of time and I have not contacted you with an explanation, please feel free to harass me mercilessly, because I agree - that is just rude.
** Sponsored Reviews: Sponsored reviews are an opportunity for a designer (or an enthusiastic patron) who has fallen through the cracks to pay for a review slot. In this case, you have contacted me and have rendered payment in addition to providing specific items for review. In exchange, you get an honest review of your items in my general editorial style. The review will be provided to you prior to posting and you have the option of whether or not the review appears on the blog — which is the extent of your editorial control. Sponsored reviews will be clearly labeled if they appear. Payment, as such, is not based on publication, but on the expenditure of my time and will not be refunded for editorial basis. This option is not recommended for those lacking a commitment to quality or a healthy relationship with the concepts of ego and maturity.
** Unsolicited Items: If you are dropping items on me unsolicited, I may or may not get to them — in fact, I may or may not even see them. My review pace on this site is far below what some of you are accustomed to in my previous endeavors, but I still get sample items from all over the grid on a daily basis. I generally do not respond to unsolicited review items simply because the sheer numbers make that impossible. It is not personal — I do not want to kill your prim puppies. If you really feel that your items would appeal to me, please feel free to give me a nudge about them no more than once per month until I respond or hire someone to kneecap you. Please know that including an image of your items in a folder, and clearly marking your folder with three asterisks and the words PLEASE REVIEW in all caps will greatly increase your odds of being seen (Example: ***PLEASE REVIEW - Prim Puppies***). If you drop boxed items on me they will likely never be seen or heard from again.
