If there's a linky party for bulletin boards, for example, and I have a bulletin board page on my school's website to share, is it ok to link to that page? I've done that twice prior to reading your Linky Party Etiquette and now it seems like that's not really in line with the expectations. Thanks!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926426214201766983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269941892593521560.post-8788500386625501622011-07-24T20:52:59.336-07:002011-07-24T20:52:59.336-07:00Rachel-

However, if you are linking to previous posts that match the topic, I could see multiple links. <br /><br />Suzy-<br />Did that person say to link up? If they did, you will find a button or box at the end of their post asking for you to enter your link (the address to your post or url.) If they didn't then it isn't a linky party. You can always still post on your blog about that topic. Just say, I saw Jenn at Finally in First talking about xyz and ... Just make sure you make that person's blog a link back to them (Finally in First in this case.)<br /><br />If I wasn't clear or you need more help just email me.<br /><br />P.S.

I always found myself searching or not remembering whose blog I shared an idea for a Linky to go back and see new posts. Then if I did find it I had to scroll and look through postings. So long story short, I made a permanent page of my "Lots of Linky Parties" on a tab at the top of my blog. Your etiquette guidelines for Linky parties are well stated. If you think it would be worthwhile, I could link your etiquette post to my page. Also, I invite anyone to continue to add to the Linky party listings.<br /><br />Denise<br /><a href="http://yearn4learning.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Yearn to Learn Blog</a>YearntoLearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555347951412293888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269941892593521560.post-84432288515952271632011-07-10T00:03:58.765-07:002011-07-10T00:03:58.765-07:00I am glad so many of you got something useful from...I am glad so many of you got something useful from my post! I do want to add that I think it perfectly acceptable to delete a link if there is no topic post. Follow up with a polite email explaining why and inviting them to link back up with a relevant post. <br /><br />Fran responded very well to Camille's question on TPT buying. I do spend an INCREDIBLE amount of time on these creations and only charge a few dollars. I think of it this way, if I were to buy the game in a store I would not be able to share it with my friends AND it would be MUCH more expensive. I agree with you that perhaps the terms of use should be more clearly spelled out for buyers.<br /><br />Kristin,<br />As requested, I will blog about leaving direct links in comments tomorrow.

I hope teachers understand that individuals have spent an incredible amount of time creating something and the prices are kept very low so that it doesn't strain anyone's budget.
