Member Personal Web Links

MnIPS Member Personal Web Links

As a service to members, MnIPS will post links to one personal web page per member, if the member requests. A personal web page is defined as one that provides personal information (hobbies, interests, photos, trips, pets, etc.) about the member. Although the personal web page may contain LINKS to commercial interests such as member businesses or a member resume, the page linked to may not be overtly commercial in nature. If, in the opinion of the MnIPS webmaster, a personal page contains problematic (libelous, scandalous, grossly erroneous, etc.) content, it will not be linked.

A personal Web page link must be requested directly by the member involved through e-mail to webmaster@mnips.org, providing the member name and URL to link to. A request to remove the link must be made in the same way. The MnIPS webmaster will determine whether the provided page satisfies the guidelines.
