Comments versus Creating Conversation

“Why can’t I comment on your blog?” you’re asking! I started out having comments on the blog itself . Unfortunately, I faced two issues: First, despite using filters, the thoughts added by readers were hidden amongst an abundance of spam. It became increasingly difficult to monitor. Occasionally, the spam was well disguised. And, frankly, this took away my intent to generate conversation and community. Which leads me to … Other social media platforms better support community creation and the ability to hold conversations. So, I’ve moved comments to a LEADistics Facebook page. As a widely used social media platform, it’s accessible to almost everyone. I provide a link at the bottom of every post to make it easy to share your thoughts. And, if Facebook is not your platform of choice, you can also tweet me! I would love to engage in conversation, and welcome your comments and honest feedback. I also invite you to share posts via your favorite social media platform. I do ask that guests leaving comments be mindful of civil discourse. Please share critique of my thoughts and those of other guests in a respectful way. While I’m reluctant to ever censor a voice, I will delete comments that are intentionally hurtful or use language not suitable for broad, professional audiences. Thank you, in advance, for your courtesy and consideration!

I want to strike the appropriate balance between getting my content widely distributed while also protecting my intellectual property rights. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. Without My Permission You are free to do the following without my permission: Link to my site or any specific post on my site. Extract and re-post less than 100 words on any other site, provided you link back to my original post (or page, if that’s the source of what you are sharing). Print off my posts and photocopy up to 50 copies for internal distribution within your own company or organization. Print my posts in any non-commercial publication (e.g., company newsletter, church newsletter, class syllabus, etc.), provided you include this copyright notice: “© [insert year], Kathryn Bingham. All rights reserved. Originally published at https://kathrynbingham.com [or https://LEADistics.com].” Not Without My Permission You must have my express written consent to do any of the following: Use this content in for commercial purposes, including selling or licensing printed or digital versions of my content. Alter, transform, or build upon this work. Re-posting and Translation Rights I do not permit the re-posting of my posts in their entirety. This is because Google penalizes websites for publishing duplicate content. It often can’t tell which site hosts the original, so I risk getting penalized myself for granting permission. In addition, I don’t allow the translation and publication of my work in other languages. I simply don’t have the resources to validate the quality of the work. Guest Posts Guest bloggers retain the copyright to the posts they write. The above permission guidelines do not apply to their work. If you are interested in re-posting or publishing their content, you must contact them directly. I cannot serve as a broker, agent, or contact point. If you have some use for my content that is not covered here, please email .
