Please list your real name and provide a link to your website. If you don't have a website, then use a link to your account on Twitter, Flickr or some other form of web presence. Comments that do not reference a real name not be approved. </p> <p> <strong>Be Civil:</strong> Irrelevant, obnoxious or abusive comments will not be approved. Let's keep things civil and on topic. Basically what we are saying, if your comment does not add to the conversation, it will not be approved. </p> <p> <strong>Spam:</strong> Spam comments in any form will not be approved. We also do not approve comments that left for the sole purpose of posting a link.</p> <p> <strong>Corrections:</strong> If you want to point out a typo or correction, please <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090922215631/http://laughingsquid.com/contact/">email us</a> instead. Typo or correction comments will not be approved since they are pretty much useless once they are corrected and then only tend to confuse things. </p> <p> <strong>Gravatars:</strong> If you would like a <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090922215631/http://laughingsquid.com/gravatar-identify-yourself-on-blogs-with-a-global-avatar/">Gravatar</a> to show up with your comment?
