We seem to be getting a problem with people posting links to their blogs (usually with little/nothing else) in the Writer's Corner. We've had three in the past few hours. Their excuse would be, I suspect, that they don't know the forums well enough to understand where to post -- and they probably don't, as they seem "drive-by bombers" who just stop in to post their ads, rather than actual forum participants. Either that, or they're too stupid to understand the difference between "discussions between/about/for writers" and "self-promotion of blogs" and why one is appropriate in a writers' area and one isn't.

I think the subtitle of the Self-Promo section should be updated to mention blogs as well as books, so that there's something more solid to attract the blog advertisers to that area, and to the blog linkage thread within it. Another possibility might be -- depending on how much MR wants to get into sending people to other websites -- to add a Blog Self-Promo section for those posts.
