It’s technically just a spiced up frontend for our essays, but it looks exactly like a blog and so this marks the opening of our very own blogging space!

This was all custom-built by me over the course of the weekend + months of research until we realized, yep, we have to make this ourselves 😵‍💫

Anyway go check out the “press release” we wrote for it and then check out the new space.

    Is it ok to edit other people’s essays? Seeing that essays are inherently more “personal” unless credited to an organization.

    I ask because I just read one and found a glaring error in a Chinese name. For now I’ll use the discussion page.

      I saw your talk page, it’s indeed better to leave it for the author to fix but it’s perfectly fine to notify them about it. It’s the old “just because you can [click on the edit button] doesn’t mean you should”.

      We are actually naming someone as sort of an editor-in-chief who will probably be allowed to make these edits. In general I would rather not impede over other authors’ work unprompted but now that we’re equipped with a proper page, we have to have proper essays as well lol

        I just meant I’m a crappy writer and need to improve! No slight intended! I think this is a great idea and will hopefully get more eyeballs on the site.

          Good luck in your self-improvement 💪
