So you need to make sure that you put e.g. a disclaimer or something like that to distance yourself from that content.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365645990672156079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11089964.post-58329011170731601812011-05-23T13:57:28.404+10:002011-05-23T13:57:28.404+10:00I guess it depends on the content/context of your ...I guess it depends on the content/context of your website.
