Q: What are some of the guidelines for writing an E-Mail?
A: #1 - Make sure you put "CK.com" in the title. Though I have G-Mail now and it takes care of a lot of spam for me, some it gets through. "CK.com" is a surefire way to show me it's actually something worthwhile.

#2 - Make it legible. I can't read "1337 5P33IC", so don't write it in that. Try to get the grammar as good as you can. Please write in English - I haven't studied Spanish in years. For Japanese, I can read the Hiragana and Katakana characters, a handful of Kanji, and some very basic sentences. You'll be lucky to get two words of any other language out of me.

#3 - Just be polite. You flame me, and I'll throw your mail in the trash. If you're rude, but not flaming me, I'm not particularly nice in the response.

#4 - Not sure if you should send it to me? The general rule is "If I didn't ask for it, I don't want it" but there are exceptions. Interesting information on something in my site I appreciate any time, whether or not I specifically asked for it. On the other hand, I don't care about what movie you and your boyfriend/girlfriend saw last Saturday.

#5 - For the love of all that is cute and cuddly, please do NOT put me in your Address Book. There's no real reason for you to put me in your address book, and it helps stop the spread of worms.

Q: How come you haven't answered my E-Mail?
A: I try to check my email every day, but there are some three main reasons I don't respond:

One possibility is I simply don't find a reason to respond.

There's also the possibility that I never even received it. I don't check "Codiekitty@e-garfield.com" anymore, and if you didn't put "CK.com" when you sent it to Gmail I probably deleted it.

Third and most embarassingly, I meant to respond, but my scatterbrain caused me to forget and it's ten days later and I'm not sure if I should respond.

Q: When is the site updated?
A: Every whenever I feel like it.

Q: I thought I read such-and-such on a certain page, and I don't remember this being there. Am I going nuts?
A: Probably not. I often go back and edit pages, rephrasing things I found better ways to write or fixing typos and other errors, but don't bother to mention anything in the updates unless I, say, rewrite the whole thing, or I'm updating with information that was sent in to me.

Q: If I were to make a multi-chapter comic series like the ones you have, would you host it?
A: No. Please use your own site for that.

Q: Do you have AIM?
A: Yes, but I don't even remember the last time I signed on.

Q: How can I link to you?
A: My URL is "http://www.codiekitty.com" If you use text links, just label the link "Codiekitty.com". If you want to use buttons, here's a few that I whipped up in about three minutes each. Just save the one you like the most to your own server as whatever name you want, and use it to link it to my site.

Q: I'd like to advertise on Codiekitty.com. You interested?
A: Shoot me an email and we'll talk. A few things to keep in mind though:

First, I won't advertise pornographic websites, nor ones that deal in pirated material.

Second, unless you say otherwise, I'll assume you want the ad up for a year, and weigh your offer accordingly.

Third, I'd really prefer it if the ads were seperate from my own text. Ads at the bottom of the page, or between a break in text (for example, the green gaps between titles on my Music page) are best. I'm a little uneasy about linking words in my text to ads, partly because of the links to additional information and jokes I frequently put into my own text and I kinda don't want to confuse readers, and partly because if I decide the page needs a rewrite, I'm stuck with what I have until the ad expires. But if the money's good and it's on a page I'm not as fond of and doubt I'll be editing in the near future, I'll probably let this slide. But I'm more protective of some pages than others, so if you want in-text ads in Daniel X is Terrible or Blasting Again Stupidity, you're going to have to send me a very generous offer (but I'd still be fine with putting ads in the green breaks between sections of the latter).

Q: IF you had balls... wait, you're a SHE?
A: That, or a dude with one hell of a hormone problem.
