————————————————————  Harbormaster's Rules  You'll get out of it what you put into it. While there are no minimum word counts or other requirements, your blog is only as good as you make it. If a particular prompt asks a question that can be answered in a single sentence, there's no judgment if you choose to write only a single sentence. That said, blogging is a more fulfilling activity when you put some thought and effort into your responses, and you're more likely to get feedback if there's more content to respond to. Even if you can answer a prompt with a single sentence, you are encouraged to give each prompt some thought and to elaborate on your answer, even if the prompt itself doesn't specifically ask you to go into detail. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Blogs are often collections of very personal writings and we want to encourage rather than discourage people in their blogging. It's okay to disagree or even offer constructive criticism, but do so in a civilized manner and please remember that the key word is "constructive." Just like WdC's "Guidelines To Great Reviewing"  , please only submit reviews or blog comments that are "honest, encouraging, respectful, and well-rounded." Rate your blog appropriately. Any rating you choose for your blog is okay with us, just make sure that you use the appropriate rating so that readers can accurately assess the content of your blog. It's fine if you want to use mature language or talk about risque subjects, but we want blog readers to be able to find content that matches their tastes and preferences, and avoid content they might wish to avoid. Please respond in kind. If someone takes the time to visit your blog and provide a comment, please consider returning the favor. One of the best ways to increase traffic to your own blog is to interact with the blogs of others. Ask questions. Please feel free to post any questions in the forum below, or email Harbormaster Jeff   directly.———————————————————— The Forum Everyday blogging. The core function of Blog Harbor is to provide prompts for blogging inspiration. If you choose to respond to a prompt, just create a forum post with a subject line that reads: Prompt #___ (where the blank is replaced with specific prompt number you're responding to... i.e., Prompt #1, Prompt #22, Prompt #58, etc.). In the body of the message, create an {entry:#######} link to your blog post... and that's all there is to it! There are no participation requirements or quotas to fill. Participate as often or as rarely as you like! Special events and rewards. From time to time, Blog Harbor will run special events to encourage participation. These will be announced in advance, and specific guidelines (and prizes!) will be provided. In addition, the Harbormaster will occasionally reward particularly excellent blog posts with spontaneous goodies (gift points, merit badges, etc.). New prompts every month. The current plan is to post a new series of prompts every month, enough to maintain a daily blogging habit. An archive of old prompts will also be maintained so bloggers can take advantage of the entire archive at any time.———————————————————— Craving More Blogging Opportunities?
