This site:
http://urbanprepperchick.blogspot.com/has some great information and I absolutely enjoy reading the material.
The problem (mine) is the limitation on website contact options...
The only way to reach the author is via one of the "Social Media" (SM) sites,
like Facebook etc. There is no email address, that I can find anyway, and
no built-in contact form. All reader/viewer contact is done through SM.
I acknowledge that this may be a limitation imposed by the site hosting
company who may not even allow the use of email contact via their software
Since I refuse to use the SM due to their very dangerous privacy
( or non-privacy ) policies, I cannot maintain my OPSEC and still reach the
author to comment on her great website and articles. I have posted links,
on the NNPG forum, to articles from her website, and these links were
recognized by the site author, so I know she reads this site or has found the
links via search engines. It's a case of one-way communication.
Let me re-iterate, I really like the content of Urban Prepper Chick's website and
I check it daily.

I design websites and reader contact / feedback is a vital part of all my designs.
Yet I advise my clients to avoid using SM links even if they represent an income
channel. My opinion is that the real loss of privacy out-weights any possible
monetary benefit. YMMV...

So, the question to you is:
I don't know how many of you (NNPG members and lurkers) share my distrust
of the SM sites although several of you have your own website. Even if you don't have
your own site, I would like to hear your feedback on handling contact with readers.
