Blog Update

Words And Beyond — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 07:52:00 +0000

This blog has been copied on to a Wor dpress blog as well. All members (whoever follows this blog, in any case) are requested to check it out and drop their feedback about it, on either blog. Also, authorship-privileges for either blogs are being distributed (couldn’t get a better word :S) and any interested member, should submit their e-mail ids as a comment. Also, whoever does submit their ids to author on this blog needs to maintain a blogger profile, so please update it. And also, of course, you’ll be needing a google id, so only submit your gmail ids. For the WordPress blog, whoever wishes to join in as an author, needs to make a wordpress id. You can do so from this link.

I personally suggest, that you please do this, and not bunk it *cause you don’t want to register for another site*. WordPress is seriously worth it, and even if you don’t want to maintain any of your own blogs on it, you can simply register for an id, submit the e-mail id with which you registered onto wordpress in the comments, and you’ll soon enough get an invitation to author the wordpress blog. Both the blogs shall be maintained to have the same content so if you auhtor on one, it is not necessary that you author on the other as well.

We are also putting up feed subscription links so you can subscribe to this blog’s posts and never have to visit it but remain updated.

The following post shall include the literary conduct authors shall have to follow, while posting on this blog; that is when we have enough volunteers to author on our blog. So, if you happen to read this, then please spread the word about this post.

For all our well wishers and critics, the Words and Beyond Club isn’t dissolving just as yet. We plan to continue thriving well into this year and the ones to come, organizing competitions successfully and continuing to spread the joy of reading and writing among the youth.

With Volume 1 of our magazine already published, distributed and widely appreciated by teachers and students alike, we are extending our territory to the Class IX batch of 2008-09.

This year, after recruiting members from Class IX we will continue to host competitions, have more enriching meetings and even come out with a wackier and more ingenious Volume 2 of our magazine!

I encourage all the old and new members, to continue to be involved and enthusiastic in all the activities of the club and cooperate to make it the most flourishing club in the history of Delhi Public School, R. K. Puram.

Till then, remember to decipher, Write. Share.

Best regards,

Sobhagya Jose
President

Note: Notices for recruiting new members will be put up in all sections of Class IX by April 15^th, 2008. If you are in Class X presently and would like to be a part of this huge and constantly growing fraternity, or if you have queries or suggestions, write to wordsandbeyond@gmail.com.

Dear members,
As you hopefully know, we are in the process of compiling our magazine. The magazine is planned to be titled decipher.write.share., our tagline. Alternatives are welcome.
We have already received numerous articles but there are members who still haven’t contributed.
We want our first publication to have atleast one article from each member, which was the objective of the club. To showcase your work.
The magazine is in its last stages of compilation and the last date to submit opinions, poems, fiction etc. is 21st Nov. i.e. Wednesday. It is preferred that the articles be sent over the weekend to wordsandbeyond@gmail.com.

Kindly consider this urgent as once the magazine is published, there’s nothing you can do if you hadn’t contributed.
All the poems being sent are copyrighted, so don’t hesitate in sending your poems or stories.

Thanks,

Sobhagya Jose
