What Blogs Aren't
Articles. Do not post stories in blogs.
Also, do not categorize blogs. When a blog post is created, it automatically gets the category Blog posts. The only exceptions to this are for admins and their admin blogs as well as contest blogs.
Spam blog pages will be deleted and you will be blocked from editing. Creating multiple spam blog pages will result in longer block durations.
A place to post a simple sentence like "Hi." or "I like creepypasta." Blogs that have nothing even minimally substantial or worthwhile to communicate will be treated like spam.
A place to ask for ideas.
A place to introduce your OC.
Blog Commenting
Do not comment on a blog for the sake of commenting on a blog, or just to earn a badge.
Do not comment on ancient blogs, such as something that hasn't had new posts in several months, unless you have something genuinely useful to communicate.
If you see a spam blog page, message an administrator. There's no need to state the obvious in the comments; it will only encourage the creator.
Do not dogpile on a blog. If a question is answered and the person gets the point, there's no reason to tear them apart. If you have nothing to add, let it rest. That being said, please be sure to read all of the comments before placing yours.
