    Posting links to HPOTD from my blog

    I was just reading the interview (7/1) with George Romero, and would like to feature a link to it in my blog: angryyoungmenltd.com

    I'd also like to post the pic of the Romero zombie puppet (as my site is dedicated to my NOTLD puppet show).

    I have a link to the main page of the HPOTD site as "something you should check out", but I'd like to showcase this wonderful interview for the 2-3 people following my own blog.

    I checked the FAQ, but didn't see any subject applying to this particular question. And I'd hate to make a breach of nettiquette.

    I suppose I'm simply looking for permission. May I?
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    You can post a link to the main site, Bits and Pieces section or directly to the article if you wish:-
    http://www.homepageofthedead.com
    http://www.homepageofthedead.com/baps
    http://www.homepageofthedead.com/bap...interview.html

    If you wish to post the image of that awesome Romero muppet, ideally please host the image yourself (if you can, ie: don't simply link it/display it from HPotD) and obviously please mention where the image came from...

    Yes, mention of the origin site (plus link) is the norm.

    Well, I have a link to the site on my blog already - it's that great a resource.

    But yeah, I mentioned the site in the article. I know folks link to all sorts of things in these crazy intertubes, permission or not, but I hold myself to a higher standard. So There.

    Thanks again for the green light.
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    Ah, now I can post this as an article on facebook, then, right? I'll test it and make sure it has the relevant note about provenience (i.e. hpotd name).

    EDIT: Looks awesome using the 'share' option on my main facebook page, even puts the picture of the puppet up as the default thumb nail option

    Sorry to go on about this... I'm still utterly stunned Aint It Cool News wasn't interested in this great interview! - I emailed them twice, to a couple of their different addresses...

    In my email to them I even included an image of the Romero muppet. Seriously! How cool is it!?

    They don't give a Friar Tuck, Neil. You got the scoop and they didn't.
