Setting up an aggregator? Well, here’s an editorial policy you can use. No adaptation necessary, Just create a new page, call it Editorial Policy, cut and paste these guidelines and you will be ready to go.

1. Blog entries are not accepted from bloggers if they do not relate to what the webmaster is interested in at this very moment.
2. Posts must pass the “network TV test” [Our standards are US broadcasting standards] and maintain a level of decorum regarding profanity, adult issues, etc. that does not exceed a “PG-13? rating. We have to say it’s for the children, but really, profanity bugs the shit out of me, cos some of the words are too hard to understand. Say “Poo” instead of  ”Shit!”. [This poos me! God, I got the poos!"]
3. Articles about hearing loss are boring, so you must write about Hearing Loss. Articles about hearing loss are subject to the moderator’s discretion, subject to moods. which can and may result in an article not being published on [insert name of your aggregator here].
4. Bloggers must use simple words.
5. [Insert name of your aggregator here] operates on a basis of respect for individuals’ choices and respects each person’s individual “deaf experience.” Bloggers can only write about deaf experiences that validate our deaf experience and any references to personal deaf experiences will not be tolerated. Direct references to hearing loss will not be tolerated. Direct references to anything the moderators are not interested in will not be tolerated.
6. Exaggerated and unfounded [that is, bullshit] claims will not be given space on [Insert name of your aggregator here]. But then again, we are children, and cannot be expected to verify the veracity of your posts, so any big words will result in automatic exclusion. Not only that, we are partial to bullshit ourselves, and we bullshit each other quiet often.
7. We require all signing vloggers to include captions, subtitles, or transcripts to their vlogs as not everyone understands signed languages. Besides, We don’t need to know sign as weI get by in the hearing world, very well. We talk very well, “hjhfjd, jkdhfjwy78^&*698dfm jkhjfdh!”
8. We also require all bloggers to include captions, subtitles, or transcripts to their graphics and still images, as not everyone understands still images or graphics images. It’s really hard lipreading photos of people.
9. All guidelines are subject to the interpretation and discretion of the [Insert name of your aggregator here] moderating team. Our motto is to, “Publish what We like, Publish When We like, And **** Off If You Don’t Like The Way We Do Things!” By reading these guidelines, you are agreeing to the guidelines above, the guidelines below, the guidelines of yor and the guidelines of yonder, and any changes we may [and most likely will make] on the next full moon.
