More on blog guidelines
Posted on Tuesday March 13, 2007 by Sara Ryan
...reposted from an earlier version of the blog, including comments
What we DO NOT want to see:
- No spamming! No chain emails, such as, “So and so died last night. If you don’t repost in thirty minutes, you will suffer a hemmorhage.”
- Inappropriate language- no swearing, no references to drugs, sex, violence (unless it relates to an article or book). This includes abbreviated swearing.
What we want to see:
- Book review of the week
- weekly historical facts
- random Shakespeare quotes
- At the end of each blog, post a question about the blog just posted directed at your readers (for example, “What do you think,” “Whose side do you agree with,” etc.)
- Possible interviews with local authors
- Blogs devoted to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Eragon books, etc.
- Game reviews- online RPGs, online games, video games, etc. (for the gamers!)
- there should be a Suggestions/Comments/Questions link so other teens can contact the moderators
- Moderators could replace all foul language with the word ”Squid.”
- Moderators could place a signature with their name/username and a picture or small avatar at the end of each of their posts.
This has been brought to you by the Holgate Library Teen Council. ;D

I think that light swearing should be allowed because a lot of times, it will fit with the book. But don’t swear a lot, and not super-badly, because that will take away from the post.

Random Shakespeare Quotes?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Are you mad?
Shakespeare is the most boring writer in the history of the universe.
It is true.
The sooner you accept it, the less therapy you will have to go through.

Also, we like the Shakespeare quotes, but the Squid thing is kind of strange. It’s too random, and it will take away from the posts.
