Submissions

If the following goes over your head and you don't know a bit from a byte, please don't worry. I need content; the form I get it in just means more or less work for me, although sometimes the wrong format or size can mean you wasting your own time because internet service providers have rules on the maximum size of files they will send attached to an email, or ridiculously prohibitive time wise for me to work the oracle on whatever I have been sent.

If you have a computer phobia, you can always give me hard copy text, photographs, or anything else at the field; I'm usually found at the controlline circles.

Anything you are not sure of, or need qualifying or explaining, please ask first; it could save us both a lot of time and frustration in the long run.

I need news, pictures, or short pieces on their own disciplines, i.e.. heli, fixed wing, controlline, events, competitions/results, or anything of general interest, please send it here

It would be nice if someone had some pictures of the club in days gone by to accompany the brief history of the club.

Submission Requirements:

Anything can be emailed to me here , as long as the total size of all email attachments does not exceed 5MB. If it does, the message will be bounced back to you by my service provider.

For large numbers, or large size, files, If you have means of uploading files to a file storage account like Drop box , Spider Oak, MediaShare, or a picture storage account of some sort I can downoad from, send me the URL ( the address ).

Videos are best uploaded to a site like Youtube,

More than a couple of Photo's send to Flickr, Picasa, or similar, then just send me the link.

Emails: There seems to be a great deal of ignorance about emails and I don't have the time to teach everyone how to use them properly, mostly it's only a case of finding the right buttons to press.

Please use plain text

for any document that is meant for inclusion in the web pages

Plain text is not a .doc file
Plain text is not an .html file
Plain text is not an .rtf file
Plain text is not an .pdf file

it should end in .txt

All that is needed is to save a copy the 'Oh so precious!' .doc file as a text file and send that. (yes officers of the comittee, that includes all of you lot!)

ATTACH any images to the message, Please don't embed images in the body of the email, (BIG CLUE) you can't if the message is sent as plain text.

Do Not copy whole webpages to send, just send the link please.

Failure to at least 'try' to do some the above may result in a short sharp bin and delete!

Hard copy: typed if possible. Please bear in mind that if it's hand written, I have to type it all out again, and I am NO typist.

Please do not send images as pdf files! It's silly, it's bad, and I will attempt to kill, maim, curse, and stamp on your bones!

I do not know who everyone is, and just because we have spoken, I don't necessarily know your name. So when submitting pictures. If possible, please quote who the picture is of? , model? and any other interesting info. This can usually be entered into image files as a comment or note.

And finally; tempting though it is, please! don't try to write your life history as a file name......!
