As the blog has developed, I thought it might be good to outline how I prefer to deal with a few things.
Link freely:
Like many people, I love people who are interested in what I have to say. Please feel free to link directly to this site or any specific entry in discussions, forums, emails, or any other places that welcome it and where it’s appropriate. (In other words, don’t spam my site to others. I don’t like spam, and other people don’t either. But if it’s appropriate to the location, link away!)
Please comment:
I also love and welcome almost any comment, including those that disagree with me or have questions. The only ones I don’t appreciate are ones that are deliberately nasty, insulting, bigoted, or otherwise degrading. I do reserve the right to delete or disemvowel comments which have no productive content. Haven’t had to do that yet, though!
But don’t copy!
Please don’t copy material from this site anywhere else unless you first get my permission to do so. (See the permission section below for how.) This is because a lot of what I write depends on context: if you point someone at my site here, they can easily click on the ‘About me’ link, or the index of other posts. If you copy an entry somewhere else, those things aren’t an option. I also do sometimes edit or revise entries: I’d like to know where they’ve gotten to so that I can let you know about major changes or other items of interest.
Permissions:
I’ve done a few things I’m very proud of, and am glad to share - chants, photos, etc. I’m quite likely to give permission for use of these things within the broadly defined Pagan community. That said, some of this work is very special to me: I want to know where it’s used, and I want some way to restrict uses that truly make me uneasy.
The current digital copyright laws are imperfect, but they’re what we’ve got - this means that asking me for permission is the simplest way to go that still gives me a way to take action on uses that aren’t appropriate to my intention.
Got questions?
Please ask them, either in comments below, or in an email to jenett at this domain (gleewood.org). If you leave a comment, I’ll be able to see whatever address you put in there, and can also reply privately if you prefer.
