We try to write in a clear, informal style.
- Avoid officialese (eg words like 'persons' or 'monies').
- On the other hand, avoid trying too hard to be chatty.
- Edit your text to be spare and waffle-free.
- Use emphasis (boldface, exclamation marks) sparingly.
Hyperlinks:
- Embed these into your text wherever it's appropriate.
- Any reference to a CoP activity should link to a relevant page where possible.
- Any reference to an external organisation should link to its website, or to a relevant page on its website.
- When entering a new page, do a search of the site to find any text that might link to it.
- When deleting a page, do a search of the site to remove any links and rewrite the surrounding text.
Specific house style points:
- Refer to 'The Centre of Pendeen' or 'The Centre' (thus capitalised).
- Names of events should be italicised thus: Second Time Around.
