I'm happy to announce that I've been chosen as co-leader of the Middle Eastern team with
Élan. We'll decide on a name by Thursday.

Anyone studying Persian, Hebrew, Arabic or some other Middle Eastern language is welcomed
in our team, but we only have a few spots left. So if you snooze you lose.

1. Click on "My Profile" near the top of the page.

2. Then click on "Logbook" in your personal profile.

3. Scroll to the bottom of your personal logbooks area, and click on "new entry to your learning Logbook" .

4. Choose "Journal Entry" from the drop-down menu for logbook "Type".

5. Enter the name of your logbook in the "Subject" field, in this case ideally indicating the challenge (i.e. TAC), year, team, and your username and/or a fun phrase connected to your studies somewhere in the title (keeping in mind that the maximum number of characters allowed in the Subject field is 41 or thereabouts).

6. Write an introductory post in the large textbox below.

7. Publish this in the "Language Learning Log" section of the Forum by simply clicking on "Post New Topic" at the bottom.

8. Optional: Edit the tags for this thread by clicking on "Add Tags" at the top of the first page of your logbook, clicking on a suitable tag or two, and then clicking on "Add Tags" again to complete the process.

9. Optional: Celebrate with a cup of tea and a choccie biscuit (if British), or any fine beverage of your choice from your own home country. ;)
1-3. It doesn't matter whether you post from your profile or from the Logs subforum.
5. The title can be edited by editing the first post of the thread.
8. The tags are added as you click them, no need to click "add tags" :) when you click them, they appear at once along with icons for deleting them.

@Solfrid and Kerrie,

I have been keeping an eye out for Russian team #2s thread with a mind to start one when or group gets a bit bigger. Are we all in team #1s thread until the team gets bigger or shall we start with a #2 thread straight away?

I would recommend that you start a new thread right away, but if noone is willing to do that, you can use ours. I think the most important thing is just that you get to know your temmates (as you in any events will be on a team with them, either on your own or with us) and that you cans start you logs, and start interacting. I am woried that people lose motivation because they do not feel that they are asigned to a team. You do not need to be a big group to start. When team Sparta started out we were just three people, and now we are six. Starting off and geting a team spirit is paramaount though, whether it is here or there. Enthusiasm is 50% of the job!

It's a pity if no current member of Team MIR is ready to start the new team... The downside of your awesome bond, imo.

As a side note, I was reading some concern from one of the Romance teams that most of
the senior members ended up on one team.

It would be nice if there were a way to evenly distribute teams so that each one had a
good mix of old and new. Maybe some way of having a sort of "mentor" TAC program? Or is
that a silly idea?

Agreed! It's also generally harder to keep up with the senior members' logs, so it'll be less of a problem if you distribute the new(ish) members more evenly.
