A guide to using this weblog

We would prefer that those posting in the weblog would take note of some guidelines to making posts. This will help achieve a high quality weblog which is a pleasure to use. The basic guidelines are as follows.

  • Please make titles relevant to the discussion.
  • Titles should be short and sweet.
  • Please try to write in Mixed Case as you would for a letter.
  • Don’t use UPPERCASE for everything.
  • Try to break your text into paragraphs where appropriate as this makes it far easier to read than a single huge block of text.
  • If you wish to cut and paste into the weblog, that’s fine. However you must use a plain text editor such as notepad and not a word processor such as Microsoft Word.
  • Although you have the ability to change colours, fonts, etc. Please try to be sparing with them as they make reading difficult.
  • Please check your spelling. There is an inbuilt spell checker.
  • If attaching pictures to a post, please make them of a suitable size to display before uploading them. Although the site will resize them, there’s no need for everyone to have to download a 1024 x 768 image only for it to displayed as 102 x 77.
  • Please watch your language! This site will be read by people of all ages.
  • Do not be defamatory of persons or other clubs. Write as though you were speaking to them directly and officially.
  • Links to other websites need to be given the correct tag for them to work.

We’d like to thank you for staying within these guidelines and hope that you post regularly.
