Using Links And Responding To Emails Pt.2

Hello World:
As I was finishing talking about emails and links in the last post, I mentioned that although I will be looking closely at emails and who they come from, I do not want to discourage people from emailing me. So, again, YES it is okay to email me. Also again, if I find your link something of interest I will possibly email you back personally.

There are alot of frauds and funny people, or context meaning, there are plenty of BAD people on the internet. So, I am being careful to whom I respond back to by email for all sorts of reasons.

So, if I do not respond back to you personally, look for me at some point to respond in general in one of my posts. I want to be very careful, and I will protect what God has given me here. At the same time, I do not want to completely ignore people either.

In my profile there are a list of my interests. A few of my interest have a relationship with the theme of my blog, but not all of them. There are many outside links related to my interests that are NOT compatible with my blog theme or links section.

To try to make what I said above clearer, if for example I have in my profile interest that I like basketball. That does not mean that on my blog I want to have a link to a sports store that sells basketballs. That also does not mean that my interest in basketball is a theme of my blog.

All that means is that basketball is a personal interest of mine. That would have absolutely nothing to do with the message that God would have me to present. Now, I may talk about basketball or other sports in a future posts, but more than likely, again, basketball, in itself, would not be the theme.

There are also some stores I may possibly want to link to my site to help others or to refer ideas for others; however, I have not been contacted by the right ones that would fit this blog yet. It comes down to God's message and how He directs me. Also, If I know you or if I am familiar with your site then there is a chance of link consideration.

Several links I have placed on my blog are highlights or key messages from my blog that emphasize the overall theme of the blog. Some other links I placed in, before, as references to subject matters of post in my blog.

In other words, instead of me having a pop-up reference link in my post that blocks the reader's information, I put the link by name in my sidebar. That way a person can read the posted information, undistracted by pop-ups, and move to my link section in the sidebar, and click on that link name to confirm the reference information. I did this with the Pew Research Center in regards to Part 13 of my U.S. election series. I find it easier on occasion to put some references in my link section.

I do not consider all my links to be permanent. Some can and will be, but not all of them. I will change and delete a link, and have already from time to time. So, please do not be surprised if my links list changes.

Another thing, in regards to my anonymity. I mentioned on my sidebar one of the reasons for being anonymous was to help everyone to focus more on God. For those of you who are concerned about my credibility, this is how I have been led by God from the beginning.

I am just speaking for myself, and there are many anonymous people online, and some of them I do not blame them for being anonymous. However, everybody who is anonymous is NOT led to be because of God. This, being led of God to be anonymous during this time, is MY story; and I am very confident in what God has told ME to do.

I have not burdened anyone for favors or money. The most important thing is that I have credibility with God. Do not mean to sound mean or cruel, but again, just speaking for myself, for those who are concerned, you will know who is credible if you truly know God and have discernment.

There is too much suffering and too much evil and foolishness going on in the world, and it is important to me to speak out and fight against those things. At some point I may reveal who I am, but I may never do it. If I do reveal who I am, I prefer to be led by God and it be on my terms. Those are my rules, and anyone who has a problem with that should take it up with God.
