We love and encourage comments from our readers! We love to receive feedback and hear your thoughts about our content. We want all of our readers to grow in this community just as we do, and because of that, we do have some community guidelines regarding comments.

Note that all comments are subject to the following disclaimers and policies of this website: Disclaimer Policy, Privacy Policy & Disclosure, and Terms and Conditions.

Community Guidelines

Any comments that are overly negative, disrespectful, or offensive will be deleted. Comments that don’t contribute to the conversation, are self-promotional, contain affiliate links, or are intended for back-link purposes will be removed, and the author will be blocked from future commenting.

Please use your REAL first name and email address when commenting. If you are deliberately using your business name and business email, we will consider it self-promotion and remove your comment.

Please do not link your business name or blog anywhere in the comment section unless it directly relates to the comment or conversation taking place. Otherwise, it will be considered self-promotional and marked as spam. Many comments with links go directly to the spam folder for this reason.

Before asking a question, please read over previous comments in the conversation to see if your question has already been answered. If it has, your question will likely not be answered.
