More automatic reposting!

I've had automatic tweeting about blog posts I put up on here for ages now. I've also had a mailing list set up for a while too. Today it occurred to me that not everyone uses twitter or wants an email, and so I've just set up a few more automatic reposting systems (thanks to IFTTT!).

If you know me through facebook, I've set it up to post about my blog posts on my timeline.
If you use reddit, then I've set up a new subreddit that IFTTT will automatically post links to my new blog posts in.

That brings the total number of channels you get notified about my blog posts up to 5(!)

Good ol' RSS/Atom
Email (via the mailing list - I won't send you spam or hand over your email address to any other companies. Ever!)
Twitter
Facebook
reddit (via /r/StardustBlog/)

I'm still tweaking and perfecting the new systems - please comment if you notice anything that's off or could be improved. Also, let me know if there's a channel that I haven't covered that you'd like me to set up.

Commenting FAQ

What are the commenting rules?

Never use your real name.
Do not give away any personal informtion.
Criticism is welcome, but it must be constructive.
No abuse or inappropriate content of any kind will be tolerated.
Do not spam.

Any comments that are seen to not follow these rules will probably be deleted. It may also result in a ban for the offending user such that they are unable to view the site for an arbitrary length of time.

These rules may also be amended without notice, so please check them often.

How can I format my comments?

Basic markdown can be used to format your comments:

Type this	To get this	Notes
`bold text`	bold text	-
`_italics text_`	italics text	-
`~~deleted text~~`	~~deleted~~	-
`code text`	`code text`	Inserts some monospaced code. It is preferred that large blocks of code are linked to using a service such as Pastebin, Github Gists or Ideone.
`> Quote`	Quote	-
`[display text](//google.com)`	display text	Inserts a hyperlink. Please use responsibly. `[rel=nofollow]` is in use and spam will be deleted.
`---`		Inserts a horizontal line. The previous line must be blank.

All HTML will be escaped with HTML entities such that code in <code> blocks will be visible, and for security reasons. The maximum number of characters allowed is 2000.

What is my email address used for?

Your email address, should you choose to provide it, is used to send you notifications of replies to your comment(s). It is used to display your Gravatar.

Your email address will be kept securely on the server, and nobody else will be given your email address. You will not receive any spam either.

If you do not wish to recieve emails anymore, please contact me (you can find my email address at the bottom of every page) and I will prevent emails from being sent to your email address. I will eventually write an automated system to handle this, but for now I will deal with requests manually. I should get back to you within 48 hours. Note that your (gr)avatar will also disappear and be replaced by an identicon.
