New Rule For Submissions!

Hello all. There have been a few changes at GlitterBurned. Most have gone off quietly, such as the overhaul of the 'Recent Entries" feature on the main page among others, while a few, such as the new rule regarding submissions I'm writing about today do necessitate an announcement.

New Rule Implemented & applied as of January 22, 2012: Entries to the gallery must be written in English.

This means, GlitterBurned is only accepting English language blogs at this time. Entries received prior to this date, (January 22, 2012) are not affected by the change, it will not apply to them.

While I truly wish that I did not have to restrict anyone, this rule has been implemented since I am unable to understand the content of blogs written in any other language. I aim for the gallery to consist of blogs with quality content, and I am simply unable to verify this fact about blogs that are not written in the English language.

I apologize to those of you with fabulous written in another language that are no longer elligible for acceptance in the gallery. I am sure that this new restriction will exclude many super blogs that otherwise would have been accepted. I hope you understand, Thank you.

Trying New Post Frequency Policy

It was brought to my attention via a dear and trusted fellow blogger and friend of mine, that each entry to the gallery should receive an ample amount of time on the "front-page," or index page as it were, to the gallery. Posting too frequently, either by posting more than nine new entries a day or posting several new entries everyday, would cause a blog to fall into the "next" page of entries, thereby ending it's "shine-time" on the gallery index.

Implementing a "post-frequency policy," with a 48 hour minimum interval between the next installment of new entries, and also limiting the next posting installment to a maximum of nine new entries garantees that each entry into the gallery will receive no less than 48 hours of "shine-time" on the main page.

 By internet standards,  2 days can be an eternity, it may prove to be even too long of an interval for the gallery as well. So as of the most recent gallery update 6/20/11, the policy is in affect, but it has not become part of the gallery's consitution. I do feel that each blog should have it's moment on the main page and this is something I would like to garantee, this 48 hour interval policy is still subject to change.

We'll see! One thing is for certain, I want blogger's and their blogs to have their moment, and hope that it does bring them some new visitors.

If you would like your blog to be featured in the gallery, submit it already!
