The Youth Group Blog

Welcome to The Youth Group Online

The Youth Group — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 23:29:00 +0100

Would you like to get in on our online community? Then read on! Here on our web blog 'forum' you can take part in discussions, post your comments and have a chat on whatever topics matter to you. The aim of the blog is for it to be in two sections, the first section being resricted to actual members of Peterborough's Youth Group who's aims are on the main landing page at www.theyouthgroup.org.uk. The second section is open to anyone who has an interest in what the group does or is, creating an online community. Here non-members or even prospective members can interact with current members of The Youth Group, even if it is just to get an understanding of what we get up to on a Tuesday night.

You can sign up to be an online member using the Create an Account link at the bottom of the left hand column, and then you can Log In and post articles using the Post New Entry link at the top of the right hand column. Most articles have the option to reply to them by clicking on the Post A Comment link or the Reply link underneath the articles or commments.

There is also our Forthcoming Events year planner on the front page too so everyone can see what we are up to and all can discuss in the general chat area. Everything is moderated by myself, the Youth Group Leader, which means that there may be a delay between posting an article or comment before it appears on the page. If you have any problems or would like to post an article to start a discussion anonymously, then contact me through the email link on the home page.

Happy Blogging!
Huw - Youth Group Leader
