[Rockhounds] [ADMIN] Rockhounds Website Pee Ess

Hey, Kris - yep, you're allowed to have a blog/gallery link at the end of 
your post. You could actually add a link to your ebay store, as well. Keep 
the 
sig line no more than three lines, including your name. (That's what I 
meant by 
sig in that rule posting - I'll clarify that in the actual rules;). So you 
could 
do your name, your blog/gallery and your ebay store if you wanted.

What I don't want to see in the signature line is, say, "New products just 
in!" and a link. (Unless it's an ad post, of course.)

And here it is 10pm and I'm wide awake. May be time to finally try one of 
those Ambien thingies.

Julie
