Classmates - Rules and Guidelines |
|
The following is an example of how each listing will be
displayed on the website...
(Picture if any)(College Logo(s))Last Name, First Name
-- Location of Residence; e-mail address; "biographical
information" (date of addition; date of last update)
 Doe, John -- Corpus Christi, TX;
johndoe@johndoe.com; "Hi everyone. I am doing well.
E-mail me if you like." (added 10/01/04; updated
11/09/04)
Below are rules and guidelines for each section of a
listing. Each is described as best as possible. Any
other issues not addressed below can be discussed in a private
manner. Please e-mail me any questions and/or concerns and they will
be handled accordingly and promptly. Likewise, if anyone has an
issue with your respective listing, by all means please bring it to my
attention. Otherwise, thanks to everyone who chooses to be listed in
the Classmates section. It's great to have y'all aboard! --

Re: Schools and Class
Years |
My train of thought is this
... if you were a part of a class year of a school at any point, you can
be listed in that school and year. Meaning, if you started Carroll
for your freshman year, but then your family moved, then you are cool to
be a part of that class listing. That's probably the most extreme
case though. If you went to a school for a year or two, but then for
some reason didn't finish at that school, then of course you can be listed
for that year. If you went to a school, but then transferred to a
different school and graduated from that one, then it is up to you if you
would like to be included in both. Currently, there is one person on
the site that went to Carroll for just over two years, and then
transferred to Ray for the last year and a half. That person is
listed in both schools because they did their time in each school.

Re: Pictures |
Everyone is invited to
include a picture for her/her respective listing. The picture will
be cropped to a head shot. Since each picture is shown in a 100x131
pixel space, head shots are the only pose that look appropriate.
Anything more would be overkill for a small picture space. Sooo ...
any picture you send will be cropped to ONLY include your face in a
100x131 pixel shot.
Pictures of couples are welcomed from those who are currently
married ONLY.
Forgive me, but people break up all the time. To me, it makes
more sense to only include a couple shot for those who are seriously
committed (i.e. - married). Couple shots will be cropped
to include both faces at 175x131 pixels. You don't have to include a
picture of your spouse, but it is welcomed should you choose to.

Re: College Logos: |
| I am leaving this item to each person's
discretion. In my opinion, college logos should be limited to where
a degree was achieved, where you are currently enrolled, or where you
spent half or more of your collegiate career. At the very least, I
would hope that one spent a year of more at the requested college.
However, I recognize that only you can truly gauge how connected you
feel to your requested logo. Therefore, if you request a certain
logo(s), I will post it with no problem.

Re: Names |
| Your first and last name will be
displayed, hopefully exactly as was in your respective high school
yearbook. Nicknames are welcomed to be displayed. However,
please be reasonable with any requests. I mean, if people really
call you something different from your given name, then no problem.
If you are recognized by something other than your given them, then
okay. But if you were called something once in your life, c'mon
guys! Also, if your "nickname" is but a smaller version of
your name ... I think you know where I am going with this. It isn't
exactly necessary to write William "Will", Gabriel "Gabe",
or Michael "Mike". So please only include a nickname if
people REALLY call you it or especially if it references a middle name.

Re: Locations: |
| This is all you. Wherever you call
home will be what is posted.

Re: E-mail addresses: |
| I think the whole point of the Classmates
section is to no only have a place to read up on people, but more
importantly to provide a way for people to reconnect with you. E-mail addresses will be posted for everyone, unless you let me know
otherwise. I will be more than happy to leave yours off should you
want it that way, but you must let me know. Otherwise, I assume
everyone to understand that all listings will include a posted e-mail
address. Please keep me up-to-date with your most current address as
anything otherwise would defeat the purpose. |

Re: Biographical
Information: |
Again, this is all up to
you. You are free to write anything you like about yourself in this
section. It can be serious or comical. I do not change the
info you send, unless it is redundant in some way, such as including an
e-mail address when it will already be listed in your post. And even
at that, an example of what I am talking about is below...
"Hey y'all, e-mail me at johndoe@johndoe.com
anytime you like." will be changed to "Hey y'all, e-mail
me at (address above) anytime you like."
...So what you write is at your
discretion. Just please remember that it will be on display for
everyone to view.

Re: Instant Messenger
Screen Names: |
| In my opinion, far and away the most common
instant messenger program is AOL Instant Messenger. I am more than
happy to include an icon to where people can IM you direct from the
site. When you submit your info, it is up to you to include your AOL
IM screen name. In addition, there is a check box to make sure you
want your screen name listed. If other screen names from different
programs are given, I'll be more than happy to list those as well.
If you don't use an instant messenger program, I recommend you try one
out. They are very convenient, and I personally probably communicate
with people via IM that any other method, telephone included.
Programs can be downloaded for free in the Downloads section.

Re: Telephone numbers: |
| Some people include their telephone numbers in their listing. Though I appreciate the extra
information to list as it is very generous, phone numbers conform to a
different set of global internet guidelines and laws than, say, e-mail
addresses do. For this reason, I choose to not post any personal
phone numbers on my site. It's a long and boring story, but the jest
is that there are many more rules and consequently more liability for
sites that post personal phone numbers. There is neither for posting e-mail
addresses. I didn't just pull this site out of my ass y'all. I
am a professionally trained web developer who is very much educated
on the rules, laws, and tricks of the trade for something like this.
Consequently, if you would like to provide your phone number to someone,
you can do so through your own personal e-mail communication.

Photo Album - Guidelines |
| The Photo
Album is intended to showcase good times had with friends ... nothing
more, nothing less. It serves as a celebration of great friendships,
most of which have stood the test of time. In fact, that is the
overall theme for this website. I care not to have the site focused
on me ... past, present, or future. It has grown way beyond
that. Rather, I want it to focus on the good people around me; the
good people I am proud to call friends. The best way to depict that
is through snapshots of fun times we share together. That being
said, the Photo Album will ONLY
contain pictures of those whom I consider friends. In other words,
if you and I know each other and yet we are not friends for one reason or
another, you will not make it onto the site. Further, the Photo
Album will NOT serve as a window into my private life, nor will
it speak to any "labels" (i.e. -- athletic, educational,
professional, etc) that I or any of my friends may be known by.
Y'all get a taste of my life in the About
Me and Latest News sections. They
more than suffice as windows into my world. Every other section, Photo
Album included, is catered to the ideals and themes mentioned
above. So for future reference, if you ever find yourself wondering
why you don't see certain things or certain people on the site, the
reason(s) for such decisions have just been described in the words
directly above this last sentence. |
