Honestly, I've never highlighted my own story or commented on my own story. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, or even an allowable thing, so my motto is: When in doubt leave it out. On the other hand, I would hope that if it's breaking any kind of rule, Medium would at least alert you to it, before penalizing you. But again, that's my humble opinion. Just to add a to that, I'm not sure if everything that we're able to do is a good idea just because we can. For instance, I've been corresponding with the young lady Im mentoring here on Medium. While trying to show her how to manipulate the site and her profile settings, as well as set up her publication, she inadvertently added me as a writer on her PROFILE. Who even knew that was a thing? I didn't, I wouldn't want someone with access to MY profile. Anyway, that's just a little food for thought Jesse. Thanks for listening :-)
