Just some GUIDELINES for Posts

Please, please DO follow these guides to make your post as reader friendly as possible! The pointers are simplified to E.L.D.D.S. to help you remember it easily

1. E: STICK TO THE EFFICIENCY
Be efficient in your posts. Do not beat around the bush. A little personal POV for entertainment is fine. Just do not try to overwrite the post's purpose and make this a boring 'WHAT-I-DID-TODAY' kinda post.

2. L: STICK TO THE LANGUAGE
And of course our Language is ENGLISH. Please type properly, especially for bloggers. Although this is not supposed to be formal, we should try to make this as reader friendly as possible.

For example, please adhere to proper ENGLISH with minimum SINGLISH or 'SOUNDS' as some of us do not understand it. And please do observe simple writing rules like ending with a FULLSTOP, starting each paragraph with an UPPERCASE.

3. D: STICK TO THE DESIGN
Nopes. We're not inhibiting your creativity.. In fact, we're encouraging the growth of it. Observe that the previous few posts are quite colourful. And again this is just to make your post more reader friendly by making it colourful.

FYI, studies have shown that colours help learning and extracting information best.

4. D: STICK TO THE DRAMA
Yes! Drama! Please stick to the fun note instead of being old and boring! To be fair, debate too!

5. S: STICK TO THE SUBJECT
Yes. This is important. The 'SUBJECT' here refers to IDENTITY. Do NOT attempt to write a post under anybody else's identity. And most importantly, do not write an IMPORTANT NOTICE under your name.

If it's for the CCA, please do not write things like "OH MY! 'name' IS HERE! YO GUYS! I JUST WANNA SAY THERES MEETING TMR! OOH! IM SO EXCITED! OMG~!" Please try to use a more collective term, like 'we are going to...' instead of ' I am going to...'. Please obsreve and respect the presence of your other batch mates and seniors/ juniors.

For example, please, if you are informing us of any activities, try to keep your emotions and expressions like 'WAH', 'T.T', 'YAY' to a minimum. After all, this is a public blog, not a private one.

Sorry to have made this blog sound like such a serious one. The above guides are for POSTING ONLY, not for tags. Relax! Choya!

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, The password has been sent to all SEC3S and SEC4S. Attached in the mail are some information as well. (Oh my! I sound so politically correct!) In June, after the SEC4s step down, the SEC2s will have access to the blog as well. After all, we cannot have too many people knowing the password! If everyone blogs, who's gonna read?

Anyway have a great day!

CHEERS!
SHAWN!
