Hartog’s Den

Well… they’re more like actual… guidelines. Firstly, this is not a personal blog or a journal, think more like you’re writing for a magazine, except that your editor doesn’t care when you turn anything in and you can write on anything you want. Well… almost anything. Controversial things are great when they spur intelligent debate, but let’s keep the fiery political posts to your own personal blogs. Things like reviews, commentaries on life, sudden epiphanies, poetry, cocktail recipes, humorous anecdotes, and so forth are perfectly fine.

Swear and talk about sex, politics, and religion if you want, but please do so tastefully and respectfully.

NO EDITING OR DELETING ANYONE ELSE’S POSTS, please just email whoever it was that offended you. If your fellow columnists are complaining about a post of yours, kindly consider editing or removing it in the interest of this community of writers and readers; no one is going to make you do it, but I’m sure people will like you better if you did.

Each post should be an article or column, not a comment or conversation. Comment on a post as if it were a discussion board thread, just not on the main blog itself.

Host your own damn images.

HAVE FUN. No hard feelings or bitterness allowed, though sarcastic cynicism is fully legit. And when in doubt, just remember: What Would Den Hartog Do? Right now, this is a sudden idea, and I have no idea where it will end up; I hope this turns into something really cool we all can share.

Enjoy,
