Well lookee, lookee here:

Dear Blogger User,

This week, you received an email telling you about some changes we were  
making to the Blogger Content Policy. In that email, we announced a change  
to Blogger's porn policy stating that blogs that distributed sexually  
explicit images or graphic nudity would be made private.

We've received lots of feedback about making a policy change that impacts  
longstanding blogs and the negative impact on individuals who post sexually  
explicit content to express their identities.

We appreciate the feedback. Instead of making this change, we will be  
maintaining our existing policies (http://www.blogger.com/content.g).

What this means for your blog:
Commercial porn will continue to be prohibited.
If you have pornographic or sexually explicit content on your blog, you  
must turn on the adult content setting  
(https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/86944?hl=en) so a warning will  
show.

If you don't have sexually explicit content on your blog and you're  
following the rest of the Blogger Content Policy  
(http://www.blogger.com/content.g), you don't need to make any changes to  
your blog.

Thank you for your continued feedback,

The Blogger Team


So it looks like, since many of us long time Blogger blog owners (going on ten years at the Palace) complained a lot to Blogger and pointed out just what a douchebag move their policy change was, and lo and behold....THEY LISTENED?

Who knew corporate America could possibly be responsive to its customers?  At least in this one instance....

So you can totally disregard the post immediately below this one.  I WON'T need your email addresses, because, even though Blogger apparently has asshats in it's front office who came up with this asinine idea in the first place, the policy will remain the same.

Now that THAT'S over....THANK GOD.....back to your regularly scheduled Palace posts.

Although I'll be keeping the Plenty O'Purple Place blog here up, I'm not going to post to it anymore...as just a photo blog, I find Tumblr easier to use in that respect.  But you can check out new purple posts at http://plentyopurpleplace.tumblr.com/
