Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages,
Welcome to Style & Life : Lifestyle, a non-profit user-to-user based blog serving the online community. Most of our bloggers on this site are from Malaysia, hence articles posted too would reflect on the Malaysian lifestyle. However, we would like to emphasize that the blog would still serve as a general reading material for the online community regardless of any nature. We will try our best to post more entries covering on non-specific Malaysian issues from time to time.
This blog was created in March 2008 which had its first entry posted on 13th March 2008. However, the blog only officially kicked-off on April 1st, 2008. We currently have a handful of bloggers signed with us as Permanent Bloggers with the number of applications growing by the days.
This blog would feature a diverse range of topics dedicated to a diverse group of people. Style & Life : Lifestyle was firstly discussed during a lunch outing in 2007 by Natasha Khanum, Faris Ahmad and Min Chua. However, due to unforeseen circumstances back then, the project was at a standstill for nearly half a year before taking off.
The objective of creating a blog such as this nature is to enable the online community to share and learn new information on a free-based platform whereby we do not charge readers and do not pay contributors. Also, it would help to give an inside to today's latest lifestyles habits and happenings.
As this is a free-for-all website, Style & Life : Lifestyle may not publish articles on a regular basis, but would work on a concept of relaxation. Permanent Bloggers would post their articles whenever they are flexible to do so, but they are expected to post at least one entry per month. There is no force on them on this but a review would be carried out every April to check and balance on their performance. Permanent bloggers who do not meet the minimum of 12 entries per year would be terminated to be a permanent blogger on Style & Life: Lifestyle. They may re-apply but would be put on the application queue. Style & Life : Lifestyle would limit the number of its permanent bloggers to 15 at any one time. To cope with that hindrance, we welcome anyone from the online community to join us as guest bloggers at anytime to contribute towards this site. Please click on the link located at the BE A PART OF US section.
At present, we have no plans of making advertising as a source of income to generate enough revenue to maintain this blog. It is hosted for free and it is on a free domain. However, we have plans in the future to allow advertisers to post their ads so that we could generate enough revenue to purchase a unique domain which would in return increase site traffic. Extra funds from this would be channeled to the needy. We will from time to time inform our readers should this idea take off.
Style & Life : Lifestyle would never post articles touching on sensitive issues such as political, racial or religion issues. This is to ensure a healthy blogging culture between its bloggers and readers. Most of our permanent bloggers are regular bloggers at their personal blogs, so be sure to check their blogs out too. However, this site is in no way affiliated to their blog in terms of usage. We only endorse their blogs on our site.
We hope you will have a great time reading our articles and hopefully do come back for more. We also hope that you will learn a great deal of information by using this blog.
We would be mostly be appreciated if you too could contribute to the blog in terms of submitting materials.
We wish you a pleasant surfing experience.
The Permanent Bloggers Team
