These rules are are to let everyone know how I am going to operate and what to expect.  Don&#8217;t worry, these rules are easy to follow and entertaining to read. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<h3>Rule 1: I suck at spelling and grammar!<\/h3>\n<p>Its a pretty self explanatory rule.  I don&#8217;t have an English degree.  I don&#8217;t want to be a writer.  This blog is not meant to be a shining example of the English language.  This is a stream of consciousness from my brain to the web.  There are bound to be spelling mistakes and grammar mishaps. If I find them, I will do my best to correct them but it is not my top priority.  So if you find a mistake, by all means let me know but I don&#8217;t want any critiques of my writing in the comments or via email.<\/p>\n<h3>Rule 2: This blog is not a democracy!<\/h3>\n<p>While I plan on being open to hear anyone&#8217;s opinion on subjects discussed on this blog I want to make is abundantly clear that this is not a democracy.  I am the ruler of this site.  Try to think of me as a benevolent dictator.  You are free to express yourself until I deem that you have crossed the line.  I am a pretty lenient and open minded person so you have to push me pretty far for me to take action. Think about that before posting your comment.<\/p>\n<h3>Rule 3: I am not a genius and I make mistakes!<\/h3>\n<p>This rule corresponds to the first rule a little bit.  I will be posting technical content, such as code snippets, scripts, how-tos, etc and occasionally there will be times when the how-to is wrong or the script has a bug in it.  I do not consider myself to be an expert in what I do but rather a perpetual learner.  I love to learn new things and as I learn them, I want to pass my experience on to others that want to learn.  That is the primary reason for this blog.  If I do make a mistake, realize that I am only human and will do my best to fix the problem.  If you do find a problem with a piece of code or a how-to please let me know so I can fix it and others can benefit from your find.  And with anything I release the warranty is use at your own risk and I am not responsible for anything that happens.<\/p>\n<p>There you have it!  Those are the simple ground rules for my blog.  Chances are I will never have to enforce these rules but its nice to write them down just in case.  Stay tuned for more in the coming days and weeks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that the blog is up and running and I have introduced myself, it is time to set up some ground rules.
