The Kitchn has a fabulous, active community, and we appreciate all of you. But we need to address an issue that is becoming more common. We notice that many community members sign their comments with a link to their blog or site, and we would like to ask you to please not to do so.
Please Do Not Add Self-Linking Signatures to Comments
A Note From the Management
If you have a specific link on your blog or site that advances or augments the discussion in a comment thread, that is fine to include. But please do not include an automatic signature or purely self-promotional link with your comment. This makes comment threads unnecessarily long, and there is a place in your personal Apartment Therapy profile to add a link to your website. Please use that to share information about your own site. Comments are for commenting only!
As editors we do not have the ability to snip or edit comments, so comments violating this aspect of our comment policy will be deleted. (You can view our full comment policy here.) The comment threads are for interaction on topics, and we appreciate you staying on topic! Thank you!

I don't think I've violated this, but if I have or do, please let me know. I often post links to my site but only when you happen to be talking about something that I've recently covered myself. I never do the self-linky thing, and don't think I just gratuitously link to my site.

Yeah... At first I was worried, because I occasionally comment with a link to something in my blog that pertains, such as the fall ice cream post, I linked to my maple and pumpkin fudge ice cream. But I think I'm doing it ok, because I ONLY link when it is relevant.

Oh, my god. *blushes furiously* This was just pointed out to me by a darling person; I totally missed it when originally posted. I'm probably who this was written for.
Consider me chastised, and will never do it again. Cross my heart!

THANK YOU. I hate it when people's signatures are longer than their comment, or the comment is unsubstantial and exists just to get the link out.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
