Our Blogging Rules




When you press PUBLISH, what you have written is instantly visible all around the world. Make sure you think carefully about what you write in blogs and in comments and always follow these rules.
1. BE SAFE:
  • Do not use your last name.
  • Don’t be specific when writing about yourself. eg. Say: “I play soccer for a local team” rather than “I play for the Selwyn Tigers”.
  • Never give anyone your address, email address or phone number.
  • Do not post photos of others without their permission.
2. BE RESPECTFUL
  • Don’t say anything that might be rude or offensive to someone else.
  • Write constructive comments and show others that you have read what they have written rather than just saying “great job”. Say what is good about what they wrote and how they could improve it. e.g. "Well done for using a cool adjective. Is there a more interesting word for good?"
  • Be open to other people’s opinions, but be prepared to discuss your own position if you don’t agree.
3. BE LITERATE
  • You know about good grammar, spelling and punctuation (capital letters & full stops), so use it!
  • Save abbreviations and shortcuts for texting on the phone.
  • You are broadcasting yourself to the world. Present yourself in the best possible light.
