Can I copy posts from my website to BP?

Question

I want to keep my BP account in good standing so I thought I should ask before doing this.

I recently started my own website/blog and, being new to blogging as well as to BiggerPockets, I wasn't sure what the rules were in regards to creating a blog on BiggerPockets and copying posts from my other blog to my BP blog.

The thing is, I want equally to contribute to the community here at BP as well as build my website into a useful resource in its own respect. I don't want to, or imagine I could, replicate or replace BP. I just want to be able to say what I have to say in both places so more people can see it.

I understand that any posts I do copy over still need to adhere to the BP rules. Basically I am just wondering if I have to choose which blog I will write for, or if it's OK to write for both at the same time.

Sorry if the answer to this already exists. I did some searching and couldn't find anything that addressed this specific issue.

Thanks,

BJ

You are welcome to post the same content in both places -- your site and your blog here on BP, but Google doesn't love seeing identical content in multiple places.  Why not post it here (or your site) and have the other site summarize the post with a link to the original?

OR, you can post different content on your site and here.

What we don't allow is users to take our content and post it on their site.

I hope that helps.
