As of last month, this blog is now being archived by the National Library of Australia and can thus be found in Pandora – Australia’s Web Archive.  I’m pleased that this blog has become a little less ephemeral, but I also thought given that the archiving process makes not only content from my but also comments much more lasting, it might be worth informing those who engage here through comments that these comments are also likely to stand the test of time more rigorously!  Also, I figured a comment policy might now be appropriate – this will also appear on the About page – but is initially posted here to make sure everyone’s informed:

Comment Policy

Meaningful comments are encouraged.  Posting comments using a real name and with a link back to a real website are encouraged, but not necessary. Conversation, community and criticism are valued here.  Debate is also welcome – arbitrary rudeness is not.  As the blog owner and author, I maintain the right to delete comments which I deem to be rude and outside of meaningful conversation (I vastly prefer not to delete comments, but retain that right). 

Also, this blog is protected by spam filters which means there many be a delay between comments being posted and them appearing in the blog.  If a genuine comment has not appeared within a couple of days, please email me and I’ll check if it’s stuck in a spam folder.

Any comments on the comments policy are, of course, welcome!
