Blog on Chicago CF!

Welcome to Blog on Chicago CF, the official blog of the Chicagoland Adult Cystic Fibrosis Association and annual Chicago Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Day! The purpose of this blog is to facilitate, and build, communication within the Greater Chicago Cystic Fibrosis community. We eagerly solicit postings of any nature that are relevant to this metropolitan community–announcements of events, births, memorials, marriages, public inquiries, requests for assistance, news items, pictures, recipes, what have you. This a moderated blog, meaning that all posts and comments will be vetted by us before they are published online. Please respect the members of this community and your hard-working blogmasters by not attempting to post commercial duns (spam), material that is libellous, sexually explicit, infringing someone’s copyright, or that falls under the umbrella of hate-mail, and do not even think about conducting a flame-war on this forum.

Instructions: In order to make a post, you must first register and login. On the lower right of the blog window, click on the hotlink labeled “Register”, fill out the form, which is simply your real name, email address, and a user-name of your creation, and press submit. A password will be generated automatically by the system and sent to your email address, usually within minutes. Click on the hotlink in the email, login with your user-name and password, and a screen will appear with your “profile.” Add to this information, if you wish, and then choose “write” from the menu and “write post”. When you are finished with the draft, press “Save” and we will review it and publish it on the blogsite, hopefully within twenty-four hours of submission.

In order to write a comment to someone else’s post, you do not have to be registered. Simply click on the “Comment” hotlink and a white text window will appear. When you are done, press “Submit” and we will review your comment and add it to the post as soon as we humanly can.

Please note: we are not a commercial enterprise.  We have no nefarious plans afoot to sell your email addresses to the highest bidder, nor can anyone save for the site administrators access this information, ever.  Registration with your name and email is a necesary ingredient in the moderation process, should we need to contact you  about a submission or, heaven forbid, block your submission privileges because of inappropriate and/or malicious content.
