When did Conservative Grapevine start? The page officially debuted on June 1, 2005 and then, because it was a one man show and got to be a little too much work, was ended on September 30, 2005. The page was then reintroduced on December the 4th, 2006 with multiple contributors.

What's the purpose of Conservative Grapevine? To highlight the best posts & vlogs from around the right side of the blogosphere as well as covering articles about blogging. There are a lot of great blogs out there that don't get as much attention as they deserve and Conservative Grapevine is going to try to help fix that problem.

Can I buy advertising on RWN? Soon, there will be blogads up for the website.

How do you link to entries on the main page? Click on the comments section. You can use the link there.

I'd like to submit posts on Conservative Grapevine. Can I do that? Maybe. Because CG covers a few limited types of posts, I decided not to set things up so that the general public could submit posts at this time. However, I do have a group of people who are allowed to submit topics and then I look them over and if I like them, they're approved. If you're interested in doing this, email me.

Are there archives? No. On a page like this that only links to blogs, archives seemed unnecessary.

Is there an RSS Feed? No. Given the brevity of each entry, having an RSS feed would eliminate the need for RSS users to view the page at all.

Do you update on week-ends? No. The number of posts in the blogosphere drops quite a but on the week-end and traffic drops roughly 40% or so as well. Since that's the case, I decided not to update on the week-ends.

Do you sell or give away the email address I use to register?: Absolutely not.

Are there any rules about posting comments? Yes, please don't flame excessively, use an exceptional amount of vulgar language, call anyone a "t*welhead" or "r*ghead," continually post off topic material, spam, use racial slurs, libel anyone, troll, or make threats.

In short, don't be a jerk.

If that won't work for you, I'll delete your posts and ban your IP. If you are banned and genuinely don't know why, email me. If you know you were doing something mentioned above and you are banned, please don't try to get around the ban. Do everybody involved a favor and find somewhere else -- where they appreciate what you have to say -- to post.

I am a registered user, but I lost my password. What do I do?: Type in your username and 'reset' for the password and a new, random pass will be sent to you. You can change the password to whatever you want once you login.

Why haven't you answered my e-mail? Unfortunately, I don't respond to most email I receive. That's not because I don't want to do so, but because I receive so much email that it would take me several hours per week to answer all of it. Even after deleting all of my spam, it's not unusual for me to receive 150+ emails per week and that number isn't going anywhere but up. So you can send email to me and I will respond to the press & advertisers, but, unfortunately, everyone else who writes may not receive a reply.
