Forums have their own TOS but it would be wise to incorporate some of what is here to enhance your post to the forums and ensure it is noticed. Current categories on www.Tamicraft.com can be found on the Articles page: Current categories on www.CPFSN.org
New categories can be created if your article is worthy of submission. Pleae use a spellcheck Also try to use proper English when submitting a post.

If Author does not agree, then Author should not submit any Content to this Site.
1. a. Must be an original article
that you wrote. This is pretty
straight-forward. To copy another's work is an infringement on copyrights
and we do not assume any liability as to the veracity of nor the
originality of any article that is submitted. Nor do we research any
article to ensure it is original. You as the Author/ submitter of the
article assume all liabilities as regards the article. Include your email address
and name city and State or Country. These will not be posted with the article unless a part of your
signature file. b. You assume all liability for
any damages should your article be plagiarized and/or provide incomplete,

press release, advertisement, sales letter, promotional copy, or blatant
self-promotion or hype. f.
Any
article must be in English, and we would expect you to use a spellchecker
and have proper sentence structure and punctuation. We are not as
concerned with perfection as many of the sites I post to are, as we do not
currently intend to sell the article for publication. But if you submit an article
you agree that the article is ours to do with as we wish and that includes
editing the article for grammatical errors if we feel it is necessary.
Your article may be posted as-is if we feel it is comprehensible by most
readers. g. Your article becomes our
property if submitted to us and we can use it as we wish. We can decide to
not publish it, we can edit it to conform to certain standards, we can
give or sell it or post it to other forums, publish it in virtual or print
format or do anything we wish with the article. We would of course always
keep your byline intact as you being the author, But we reserve the right
to edit any signature file links as we deem necessary. h. Any article must NOT contain pornography/adult material, hate
or violence, Racial slurs, advocate against any individual or group, have
insulting, obscene, degrading tone, or contain excessive profanity and/or
profanity that is not necessary to express a thought or opinion. i.
Any
article must NOT contain any elements that would be considered as illegal
or promote illegal activity. Any article must NOT contain promotion of
hard alcohol/tobacco-related products or prescription drugs. j.
Any
article must Not contain anything that promotes spam or fraud. k. Any article must NOT contain
any content that is a violation of any law, be considered defamatory,
libelous, or infringes on the legal rights of others. l.
Any
article must be original in its content not just a variation of a previous
article or plagiarized from another. m.
Any
article must NOT include a reply to a personal email, letter or other
correspondence or a link to a self-serving website. Your ability to
promote yourself will be in your signature file NOT within the article
body. n. Any article MUST NOT be
keyword stuffed with excessive keywords or key phrases that are repeated
too many times in your articles.

Signature or Pen name at the end of the article. Please note that emails
are farmed by bots and posting an email may result in spam. If you do not
have a web presence and an email is all you have to post Please let me
know and I will encode it in javascript so the bots do not find it. I will
only do this for those who do not have any other web presence. Author: Robert
Taormina Email: Website: Embroidery, Crafts, Home Improvement/Decorating, Gardening, Small Business Cerebral Palsy Family Support Network
If your link appears in the content section it also must be in the form of an inactive link (URL). Links in the content section may NOT be self-serving.
i.
I personally have dozens of emails and 5 domains and several
sub-domains but would be limited to only 3 self-serving links. Here I
chose 1 email and two websites. I could have chosen three emails or three
websites or any combination thereof.
ii.
Double check your inactive links before submitting to be sure they
are correct in their spelling and format so they work. All links will be checked and if any
violate this agreement or the TOS the entire article will not be published
or the link removed a our discretion.
iii.
Your links may NOT contain a file to be downloaded of any type.
iv.
We do not knowingly allow any URLs in any of our articles that are
banned by our TOS or these guidelines or if your website engages in questionable SEO practices
-- we may reject your articles.
v.
We do not
accept articles that have the same link more than once. Do not submit
duplicate identical URLs.
vi.
We will not accept articles with links to adult-oriented websites,
racist sites, hate sites, sites that promote any illegal activity,
pornography, adult-oriented sexual content or any site that is not content
driven. In other words if you have a site filled with affiliates or Google
adsence links or a just links site with no actual content it will not be
allowed.
vii.
We do not allow links to websites that are under construction.
Websites must be active and have content in order for you to link to them
from your article. We will reject your article if it contains a link of
this nature. We understand websites are in a state of constant change but
your primary content pages must be complete and of use to our readers.
viii.
We do NOT allow the promotion of an online prescription pharmacy in
your links nor links to illegal software, music, DVD’s or any other
illegal activity.
ix.
We do not allow links to websites that contain Error 404 - Not
Found. These are considered invalid links and will be rejected.
x.
We do not allow links to “sales pages” for digital content. The
link must direct a visitor to a valid website with content. If you have
other links within this website that link to sales pages that would be
acceptable provided the website itself is content driven. A links only
site would not be acceptable. e. EMAIL We highly recommend including
a link to your website but do not advocate including a mailto: or email
link to your personal or work email account. Spammers will abuse it. It's
better to include a valid website URL and let potential customers find
your email address on your website. If you include an email I would
suggest you get one to an account on yahoo.com or hotmail.com and know it
will be picked up by spammers. If an email is all you have and you want it
posted you can ask that we insert it in javascript. This has so far kept
our email from the spammers but we do not give any guarantee it will be
effective for you. f.
Bringing
Traffic to your article and your self-serving website. g. The more traffic your article gets the more people will see it, and possibly use, your self-serving URL’s at the end of your article. Therefore your article may bring more hits and potential customers to your website. It is therefore imperative that you do everything you can to ensure search engines find and categorize your articles h. h. Using keywords: Placing the top keywords
related to your article within your article helps to bring more traffic to
your article.
i.
Please make sure you use those keywords in context.
ii.
Ideally, your keywords should be optimized based on the most
commonly searched keywords. It helps to use a
good keyword research tool to help you determine which ones are best to
use.
iii.
You should have a minimum of 4-5 top keywords within your article
if possible.
iv.
You can submit up to 25 keywords that we will place within the meta
tag at the head of your article page. Please separate each keyword or
keyword phrase with a coma. Do not exceed 25 keywords. Each word in a
keyword phrase is considered one keyword. For example the keyword phrase
someone may search under: “ ,starting a small business, ” would be
considered four (4) keywords. v. We do not accept keywords that are completely unrelated to the content of your article.
i.
Article
summary & the meta descriptive tag: Article Summary: We would like to have a brief summary of
your article to post so that readers can find what they want more easily.
In addition we would like to place a meta description tag in the header of
the page. Every article should have a 250 character (including spaces) tag
for the meta description in the head of your article page. This is a
summary of what would be found in the article and helps search engines
categorize your article. Some of the same keywords used in your keyword
list should also appear in this description. So in order to serve both
interests please send along with your article a 250 character (including
spaces) description of your article. We will use this as both the summary
placed on the entrance page and as the meta tag placed in the head of the
page your article is on.
i.
If you don't know what to put in your summary, just use the title
and first sentence or two of your article.
ii.
We do not allow self-promotion in your ARTICLE SUMMARY.
iii.
We do not allow your AUTHOR NAME to be in your ARTICLE SUMMARY.
iv.
We do not allow any website URL or Email Address to be in your
ARTICLE SUMMARY. 3. Any article that does not adhere to these guidelines will cause the article to be rejected. 4. Any article submitted becomes the property of Tamicraft to do with as we wish. 5. The person submitting any article is solely responsible for its content. The ideas, opinions, and conclusions drawn are those of the author and in no way reflect those of Tamicraft, its owners, employees or subsidiaries or any person or entity affiliated with Tamicraft. 6. Upon submission the Author gives to Tamicraft total and complete rights to the article, to include but not limited to its possible editing, printing, incorporation into another format, assignment, or to any use we at Tamicraft see fit to use the article for, and its future use by Tamicraft, its owners, heirs and/or assigns without recourse by the Author. Copyrights of the article are assigned to Tamicraft, its owners, heirs and/or assigns and are considered to be intact. Tamicraft its owners, heirs and/ or assigns shall have the right to sue for damages for infringement of copyrights, just as if we were the original Author, if any should use the article or any portion thereof without the express permission of Tamicraft, its owners, heirs and or assigns. Any compensation due the Author would be in direct relation to the amount of money the Author put forth toward the successful prosecution of the lawsuit and divided proportionately after all expenses have been paid. No part of this is to be construed to mean that Tamicraft has any obligation to seek any copyright infringement litigation on the part of Tamicraft or the original Author, nor that any litigation need include Tamicraft or the original Author. 7. No part of this agreement places any burden on Tamicraft its owners, heirs and/or assigns to verify the validity of the article nor to be held liable for any damages as may arise from any use of the article and the Author agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Tamicraft its owners, heirs and assigns should any seek damages. To include but not limited to those items stipulated to under section 1. b. If you do not agree with any of the above please do not submit your article for consideration. ( On a personal note I would add that all that legalese is mostly to CYA. I do not expect any problems with any Article if you follow the guidelines and I do not expect any problems as to copyright infringement or any due to an Authors rights but we need to CYA so we must place this legalese stuff in here to protect our interests. Most articles are nothing more than opinions, or how to's and hold little interest to any would be thief. We post them as a public service but in order to protect ourselves, as the article is posted on our website, we also ask that we acquire the rights to the article so that we may enforce and protect ourselves through legal means and also so that any decision we make as regards the articles does not violate anyone's rights and come back to bite us in the ass. Again CYA.) Thank You, Robert Taormina C.O.O. Tamicraft

The following is the same on every page and if you have already read it there is no need to do so again. The main links are on the left nav-bar. We do Custom Embroidery or you can pick from over 100,000 patterns we have in stock! Links to our embroidery pages are on the left nav-bar Our embroidery shop is just off 200th St. in Spanaway, WA.

My family and I have been into crafts of all kinds for as long as I can remember. I hope you will find something of interest to you on these pages.

Under household tips you might find how to remove stains, decorating on a budget, getting organized and the like. Under recipes you will find diabetic recipes and German recipes and home cooking and possibly more. Robert enjoys gardening and has some tips and tricks to share.

Robert wrote a Science fiction Trilogy some while back and here he sells his e-books. Book 1 is 237 pages and 135,000 + words in PDF format available for download. Each book in the Trilogy can stand on its own but by far the one most capable of doing so is Book 1. If you were to only purchase book 3 you would find you need that prologue to know what the story is really about. Right now only book 1 is for sale as 2 & 3 are being edited prior to getting copyrights. Book 1 has copyrights though it too is being edited prior to publishing. Here you get the unedited version. Link on the left nav-bar. Web related tech stuff is just a bunch of things Robert has found while building the sites and some information he has gathered in his search for his own needs.

We have created a site called The Cerebral Palsy Family Support Network and it can be found here. http://www.cpfsn.org My daughter has Cerebral Palsy. I do not say this for sympathy. I have created a site devoted to helping people with disabilities find resources they need to navigate DSHS, DDD, SSI and others including the school system. What I need from you is to let people with disabilities know of the site and get them to send me information of their local and State agencies that fulfill the needs of the disabled. I want to make this information available to all for free on my site. I just need the help of either a person with a child having cerebral palsy or any disability or a concerned person who can donate their time to help seek out this information of advocacy groups for the disabled. I am spending what time and resources I have but I need help. Please check out the site and if you can contribute with any information please do so. Check out the site I made for families with children who have CP Click HERE http://www.cpfsn.org I've also created a Local Pierce County Washington site for information or activities and events as well as local help and advocacy. If you live in Pierce County and are Disabled or know of someone who is then you may find this site useful. CPFamily http://www.cpfamily.org I could also use help in developing this site and keeping it current. Through having to take our daughter to therapy and doctors appointments we have come to know many parent's of children with Cerebral Palsy. In the course of our attempts to advocate for our daughter and upon hearing of the same troubles others have had doing the same we decided to use some web space and try to do something about it. We want very much to be able to provide relevant information for every locality across the country so that people seeking information do not have to spend days in search of the information they need. We would welcome any help you could give us. Any links you can supply for either .gov's or private agencies that provide for or advocate for the Disabled would be appreciated. We would like to break them down by Federal, State, County, City and Schools. Please visit www.cpfsn.org and see if there is anything you can contribute to grow the site into a useful and relevant site for people with disabilities specially those with Children who have Cerebral Palsy.
