Hints and Tips
Remember you are sending something to the World Wide Web so anyone anywhere in the world can see it.
- Assign clear, short titles
- Always write in short clear sentences
- Aim your message at an unknown audience in a friendly manner, don’t personalize it to your group members
- Avoid the use of jargon or acronyms that non-members might not understand
- Try to be clear and concise but include all relevant details for your reader
- Keep in mind your and other people’s privacy and safety
- Use only the official U3A email address
- Don’t include your own or anybody else’s personal email, telephone number or home address
- Try not to cut and paste from another document as the text will be converted to the one set for the site and may not look right after conversion
- Photos (jpeg, jpg or png) that you upload need to be good quality, at least 1024 pixels for the width
- Do not use compressed or small photos as they will not look good when the site automatically expands them – they will be pixelated and fuzzy
- If in doubt, check with the Groups Coordinator or the web administration team
