Welcome to The Sideways Movement. Thank you so much for visiting my site, and I hope you become a regular visitor and commenter. If you do decide to leave a comment, I ask that you follow the basic rules and guidelines presented below.
The Sideways Movement reserves the right to restrict comments that do not contribute constructively to the conversation at hand, contain profanity or crude language, personal attacks, copyrighted information or seek to promote a personal or unrelated business. (To clarify on the last point, please don’t add a self-promoting shout-out to your URL in the comment field.) Any post found to be in violation of any of these guidelines will be modified to remove the offending text or deleted without warning.
By submitting your content, you grant The Sideways Movement permission to reproduce your content to our discretion. For example, I occasionally include your comments as endorsements in recipe roundups and media kits. If you don’t want your comment to be used for such purposes, explicitly state so within the body of your comment and I will respect your wishes.
Please feel free to contact me (thesidewaysmovement@gmail.com) with questions or concerns. If you find evidence of copyright infringement in the comments of thesidewaysmovement@gmail.com, contact me and I will remove the offending material as soon as possible.
