Alex, that’s a really good question. I’m in the middle of redesign here, and I’m asking myself the same sort of question.

Something that bugs the snot out of me is all the one-size-fits-all advice that goes hammering around the Blogistan Echo Chamber. Unless you have a crystal-clear picture in mind before starting out, I believe having to evolve the site design is inevitable, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

That’s a pretty good idea, Ned. Something for the next editorial iteration. I haven’t written out my commenting policy yet either.

One item you didn’t mention but I think is worthwhile is a comment policy.

Nicely summarised blog framework guide. You have managed to succinctly put what other bloggers have collectively taken 786.3 posts to cover so nice!.
I have created a tab on my nav bar for my pillar content category – is this the best way to give people access to my top stuff in your opinion?

Wow!

That is _really_ cool!

I’m curious who drove this law, because it’s stupendously more “restrictive” than mainstream media rules.

If MSM was behind it, they messed up, because the rules you’re describing create instant trust in readers – at least, in me.

Whereas I don’t trust MSM at all. On anything.

Don’t have them everywhere, you need readers to know which is sponsored content or not, and not assume everything you say is sponsored or you won’t be able to establish trust with your readers. Also, for disclosing paid posts you have to state exactly the compensation you received, if you were paid you have to state that, if you received a free gift, you have to state that. This makes it impossible to use a generic one size fits all disclosure, since you have to specifically say what was provided and who provided it in the disclosure.

You can find information on the FTC Gov website. I do sponsored articles for companies promoting and reviewing products and services, so this is why I know so much about this.

Justin, this is really good information, thanks for stopping by.

I’ll use these on the next rewrite of this article. There’s a website for generating disclosures as well that came about since I wrote this, I’ll add that as well.
