Now you can upload audio-files on MILEstudents.com

Dear sMILEies,

Jenny asked me to make it possible to upload audio-files, so I have today activated division on our website - Audio. Now, every MILE students can upload some music onto the website, but since audio files are usually of big sizes and due to limits on the web-server, please upload only relevant audio files, for instance, what represent your own countries.

Another request - if possible try to stick with MP3 format, since internal program of the web-site plays them without opening additional players, which is very comfortable.

Enjoy!

Why some words in the tag clouds are bigger than others?

Some might think why indeed some words in the tag-clouds are bigger than other words (Look top right corner). So I would like to explain that the size of the words change automatically and depends on how many entries each of them contain. For example, you can see that by the time of submission of this post a tag-word 'mile' is bigger in size than, let's say, a word 'trips'. Because, more entries were submitted to the website under the tag-word 'mile' that 'trips'. So, the more you submit stories and entries under the some specific tag-word, the bigger it gets in size.

How to choose right audience for your entry

Dear All,

I would like to discuss on how to correctly post the blog entries on the website. Please, do not check MILE7 group in audience section of the submission page if there is no anything specific to concern of our group or our study in the message, if nothing to hide from public.

So, the most of entries should be public. But ONLY WHEN WE NEED TO DISCUSS SOME SPECIFIC MATTERS WITHIN OUR GROUP we should check in against audience of MILE7 when posting.

I hope that was not so confusing.
