#1 sorry, but it doesn't say anywhere that you have to have the exclusivity of the piece. I thought I could publish it anywhere I liked it.

#2 Even original articles published at Rantburg hae some sort of news peg. I have published, written or rewritten no fewer than 600 articles at Rantburg and I have never used social media as a news source.

Maybe the rules aren't clear enough, but the posting interface does display rather prominently a box for a news source. Social media, if you want to include it should be included as a separate link in your article, not as a source.

#3 Hang on, mate! The article is mine! I have been only linking it FROM G+ and twitter to have more readers!

There's the other problem: we don't allow the Burg to be used as a platform to attract readers to anyone's blog.

If you want to advertise here, contact Fred: rates are attractive, I'm told.

#4 In fact, I even tried to sign it properly but all I got was this lousy "Elmalet Greamble7487"... ;-)

#5 The killer promotes "patriarchy." How many women would vote for that? I believe he is a movement of one person. He will like the solitaryness of prison life.

#6 I spoke with a Norwegian Saturday. I asked him about this and he responded by saying that this was the work of one man like our Timothy McVeigh(I wanted to say Timothy Geithner). End of story. They have moved on. So I say leave this issue to the media talking heads elsewhere in the world.

Ok. I added "by Terry Mattingly" at the top of the text. To clarify: Elmalet Greamble7487 is Mr. Mattingly, only posting under a nym all unwilling? Mr. Mattingly, all you need do is erase/delete the nym and type in the name you wish us to know you by. This should also create a cookie attached to the new ID, so that in future the desired identity should appear instead of one of Fred's cute little randomized anonymous thingies.

Next point: if you have written a piece specifically for Rantburg, post it in full without a URL, because the correct reference is here. If you have written a piece for your own blog, link to the blog page in the URL box, but give us no more than a brief summary or a single paragraph from the text. Truthfully, the best way to garner attention for your blog is to put the blog URL In the optional website block when you post comments -- if your comments are thoughtful and knowledgeable, people are likely to follow you home to see what else you have to say. I certainly do, and have commented both here and on various blogs about what I've seen.

#8 Who's Terry Mattingly?
Look, this is getting too complicated, please delete the post; all I wanted was to publish the piece and then tell my followers on twitter and G+ to come and read it here (which I thought would be good for your audience too). Forget it, thanks.

#9 I have to totally take the blame for the confuson concerning this article.

All I wanted to do was to impress on the individual posting this material, that we like to see news links, not personal links in the source box, so I, unhelpfully as it turned out, included the first link on the Norway massacre I could google, enhancing the confusion.

I will not delete the article. It was good and well written. I am glad Rantburg was one of the places you decided to post it.

But, it has to be said, this was amateur hour for us, and for that I am very sorry.

#10 Badanov, with an apology like that you'll never make it as a MSM editor...

#11 Ok Badanov, no big deal, apology accepted and thanks for the compliments.
But if you want to keep it, could you please clean up all the misunderstandings from the comments and delete the "Terry Mattingly?" green header?
Thanks! (^_~)
