3. Be respectful to others.
Since this blog is a public space, we hope you will be as respectful to ChemE Jan07 as ChemE Jan07 itself endeavors to be. Common-sense isn’t it? Watch what you're saying, don't insult anyone, don't be obscene, don't attack people personally, avoid inflammatory subjects and etc.
4. Be interesting but be honest.
Writing is hard work. There's no point doing it if people don't read it. The best way to be interesting is to write about what you know. If you have a deep understanding of something, talk about the challenges and issues around it. Try not to rant about things you don't understand, as you're more likely to get embarrassed by a real expert.
5. Preferable topics of interest
Academic material, important and urgent announcement, relevant events in UTP or anywhere around the world, career, ChemE Jan07 achievements, motivation, current issues (politics, economic recession, environment, flood, famine and etc.), industry, sports and biography.
