Craig Mercer's Blog

A blog is a series of personal articles recorded in date-order somewhat like diary entries. You can use your blog to keep track of your collecting adventures, your purchases, your thoughts and ideas, anything that you think other mindat.org members would be interested to read about. Other members can leave comments after your blog entry, but you can delete any comments you find inappropriate.

Craig Mercer's Articles

Articles are pages created by you to share with other mindat.org users. These may be serious (a formal scientific article) or personal (you could write an article about your collecting adventures, or about your artistic creations). You can work on your articles in private until you are ready to publish them. The best articles will be promoted throughout the site.

Unlike Blog Entries, you can continue to edit your articles if they have been published (should you find new information, for example).

Craig Mercer's Photos

You can use this search form to find photos in Craig's photo gallery. Mineral, locality and other photos are shown together unless you specify the type of photo. The default order is to show the most recent photos first, but again you can change this.

Create and Edit your Mindat Page

You're free to add your own content to your page, but please be aware of the following rules:

1. No advertising (you can, within reason, mention who you work for or that you are a mineral dealer. But make it a personal page, not an advert).
2. No offensive, extreme, abusive, racist, defamatory, rude, creationist or other unwelcome content. Please report any abuse to the management.
3. Do not type in ALL UPPER CASE LETTERS. Caps Lock is not your friend.
4. All content is added subject to approval and may be rejected or edited without warning by the editors.

If you don't want to have a public page, simply don't fill in the information on this page and you'll keep the basic page. Have fun!
