Vacation + How to Address Blogger Notification

Hey jammers! Panda here! Sorry for my absence: unfortunately I'll be gone for two or three more days.

I'm going on a mini-vacation, and I'll be gone for the next few days. It would be great if the authors could post, but that's completely up to them. ^.^

Also, I noticed that lots of blogs received this notification:

This is nothing to worry about (at least I don't think it is). I received this notification on this blog, as well as on several other Blogger blogs that I control. 

From my interpretation, this is a notification calling for some sort of legal statement on your blog explaining how your website uses cookies and cache data. Basically, cookies are these things that track and "record" people's data and information when they visit your site. Legally, you are supposed to have one of these Copyright/Privacy Policy/Terms of Use/Disclaimer pages on your blog, but since none of us are really "serious" bloggers, I wouldn't really bother with it, unless you want to. If you do want to create a Copyright & Policies page, I highly recommend it: it makes you look super cool and pro (because we all need more swagginess in our lives, yes?) and it's legally correct. To create a legally "okay" Privacy Policy, you can click here to see the one that I wrote, and edit it to fit your own blog.

I'll see you all in a few days! ^.^ Also, all commissions that are currently active will be temporarily postponed until after I get back, since (unfortunately) we are not bringing my Mac laptop with us on our trip.

P.S. To address all of the Jam-a-Gram's I have been getting: 1) yes, I am a non-member now; 2) I cannot reply to any of your JAG's with proper responses anymore (unless you want me to reply with "Dolphins Rock!" or "Let's Play Rock Paper Scissors!") so if I don't reply to your message, please don't feel insulted; 3) no, I do not plan to become a member again, though it is a possibility.

  1. I hope you have fun on your trip ^.^ !
    And I was curious for my commission, as for social media icons, do you mind adding Twitter to it ?

Hi guys! I am so happy you've decided to share your opinions on AJGC! Make sure to read/follow the following bullets:
- You guys probably know- no swearing, not even ***, no mocking or making fun of others and no judging.
- Free commenting (no moderation) is a privilege, if I see 1 inappropriate comment, comment moderation is turned on for all of you, sorry, I just don't want this to be an unsafe environment.
- If you are caught being mean to another viewer, you will have all of your comments deleted. You only have 2 chances before you are banned from ever having your comment appear again on the blog.
- I have absolutely no problem with you advertising your own blog/site in the comment section, I just request that you write an actual comment about the post or page before advertising your own site. Flat out advertising comments will not be deleted, but they make the comment area more of a spammy place- get what I mean?
- Please do not request diamond or membership codes. If you are looking for gem codes, then make sure to check out our Codes page. But if I catch you threatening another jammer, demanding a membership or diamond code, I will turn on comment moderation.
- When commenting anonymously, you must sign your username.
Sorry if these rules sounded harsh, I'm sure most of you already know the commenting rules, they are virtually the same for every blog.
Happy commenting!
