QUESTIONS YOU MAY ASK
Q: May I change the template of my blog?
A: No. Sorry. We are consistent that way.
Q: May I change the look of my blog in any way? A: Yes. We’ll be happy to add a blog masthead to
your blog if you like. Simply send us a masthead of not more than 50kb with the dimensions of 400
pixels (width) x 93 pixels (height) to vina@youth.sg, and we will update your blog with it.
Q: How do I key in a blog entry? It looks complicated!
A: Fairly sophisticated robots run our blog system. You’ll be happy to know that whatever you blog
appears as it is in the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) content editor. Rudimentary
knowledge of HTML, while an advantage, is not a must. Here’s a quick look at some common
buttons:
Q: … Questionable content? What questionable content?
A: You know, vulgarities. Offensive content. Porn’s out. Anything racist or politically sensitive is out
too.
Q: I have a question. It’s not listed here.
A: Contact Vina at vina@youth.sg or 63548431.
