About this blog
Who are We?
At the moment, we are a very small group of people who
know each other from face to face contact in the Sydney (Australia) area.
Overtime this may well change.
What is a blog?
A blog (short for weblog which I guess you could say is short for "web log") is a
publicly visible web page or site where people
(usually one person) makes observations about a particular topic, or just about life as they
see it, in general. Each statement is known as a "post" and is usually date and time stamped,
akin to a journal.
Sometimes the "poster" allows others to make "comments" on
their observations.
Blogs are usually presented in reverse chronoligical order (the most recent - most
topical - post is displayed first).
A limited number of posts are displayed on the first page but all posts (and comments)
are available over time by accessing the "archive".
This blog is moderated
These basically ask that
you respect others.
Members of this blog review all posts and comments (out of interest, not
out of some fascistic desire to enforce order). Posts that are found
to be outside the terms of service may be edited or removed.
Comments that are found
to be outside the terms of service may be removed (unfortunately the software does not
allow editing of comments). As an aside, it is conceivable that one day anonymous comments
will not be permitted. If this blog ever becomes particularly popular
it will most likely fall prey to " blog spam", robots that
make anonymous posts in order to increase a particular websites
popularity in search engines. Why are there ads in this blog?
Web site hosting costs money, not
necessarily a lot, but it costs money none the less.
The ads
are provided by Google and derive a very small income from what
is (otherwise) a non-profit venture.
