Comment Policy
Comments are welcomed and encouraged on this blog. Butter and Bliss is a food blog and photo gallery of homemade recipes developed by a self-taught baker and photographer. The intent of the blog is to share and inspire you, the reader, to make delicious baked goods and desserts at home. It is also a place for people who love to bake and who love desserts to share their enthusiasm for a recipe they may or may not have tried, share fond memories of desserts, or to simply share in the joy of delicious food.
Comments are not a requirement for accessing recipes on this blog. To help maintain this blog as a place for open and respectful discussion, I have a few basic comment guidelines:
- Be kind and respectful – The sharing of different ideas is encouraged, but not in a way that abandons basic human kindness and respect. Comments that are purposefully negative, slanderous, hurtful, or embarrassing toward us or another commenter are not acceptable. Comments which include offensive or inappropriate language or considered by the blog owner (me) to be rude and offensive, will be deleted and the commenter blocked.
- Relevance – Please keep all comments on topic and relevant to the post being read. Comments that are an obvious attempt at promotional purposes, intended to gain traffic, backlinks, brand exposure, or increased personal site traffic will be deleted and the commenter may be blocked from further Butter and Bliss interaction.
- Spam – Any comment deemed as spam will be deleted and marked as comment spam. This includes any comments that contain hyperlinks. I do not know where the link goes or if it is safe, therefore, I will not subject my readers to unknown hyperlinks. Commenters who repeatedly post spam will be blocked.
- Use common sense – Refrain from posting anything that is unlawful or that infringes upon the rights of any third party.
- Liability – All comments within this blog are the responsibility of the individual commenter. By submitting a comment on Butter and Bliss, you agree that the comment content is your own, and to hold Butter and Bliss, and all post authors and commenters harmless.
