Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday March 8, 2015 Jill Promote yourself. Netiquette reminders: Want to recommend someone else’s writing instead? Try the latest signal-boosting thread. we expect Content Notes as a courtesy to our readers for problematic content in linked posts and/or their comment threads (a habit of posting only triggering/disparaging links may annoy the Giraffe (you really don’t want to annoy the Giraffe)), Content Notes are not needed if your post title is already descriptive of problematic content. extended discussion of self-promotion links on this thread is counter-productive for the intended signal-boosting – the idea is for the promoted sites to get more traffic. If it’s a side-discussion that would be off-topic/unwelcome/distressing on the other site, take it to #spillover after leaving a note on this thread redirecting others there.

We wrote about miscarriage: what it is, what causes it, how it might be treated, and the feelings that might surround it.
Etiquette question- if we really like one of the linked posted for whatever reason, is it appropriate to reply and say so here?
Sure thing, please do! It’s a recommendation for others that may well get the author more click-through, so it’s cool. Just do it v.v. briefly here, and then repeat (with more details maybe) on their original post as well, because every writer wants feedback on their own site far more than they want it to happen here.
