• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

  • You can now “duplicate” a past newsletter from the campaigns page. If you hit that button, it will produce a new draft newsletter for you to edit. This might be useful if there are elements within a past newsletter that you’d like to re-use. It saves you from starting from scratch.











Most importantly, we’re now using the same editor for your newsletters as you use for blog posts. This means that you’ll already be familiar with it (nothing new to learn!) and the interface is exactly the same, see below.

So when you start a new post as per the screenshot, the first thing to do is choose whether you want to start with a block of text or perhaps with an image. Whatever you choose, you can easily drag the blocks around to reorder them.
