I was considering starting a blog on my store here, and I have a question about blog material.

I know that the boards are not an appropriate place for profanity. I don't suppose a blog is either - BUT -

there are very specific rules about profanity on this forum - yet there are no guidelines for writing a blog. Are blogs moderated for language/content?

Since blogs are a form of personal expression, is the occasional expletive allowed when no other word could reasonably substitute?

I realize that a blog stitched with "the working man's poetry" is pointless, offensive and counter-productive - but do they smack hands for the occasional four-letter rant?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can spare the time!

Since your Auctiva Blog is tied directly to your eBay auctions...I would worry about how my soon to be customers would perceive me if I used language that isn't socially acceptable straight across the board.

Use your Auctiva Blog to direct customers to items you're selling and in the meantime, You can always get your own blog at www.blogger.com or use wordpress.

Three of my blogs. I save my rants for a blog that doesn't directly connect to my eBay.

"Profanity is the language of the ignorant"

Unfortunately I am a touch ignorant

And endeavour to not let it happen in print even though I find it difficult verbally

I personally don't like to use profanity in my blog. But then again it all depends on the type of people you are targeting with your blog.

If it's a blog about church, I would suggest using profanity. But if it's about adult content, then go right ahead.
