Picture secrets
by Your Secret Correspondent Plaid
As per the note on the sidebar of this blog, in addition to having our members post elaborate (or not) secrets, we are also exploring graphical representations of academic secrets. So if you are not a member (or even if you are), we invite you to send in a secret in graphical representation. We got the idea from the site Post Secret.

Note that these short secrets have to be _graphical_ representations. We have now received a few submissions, but they are all just simple text. That won't do. Please resend them in graphical form for consideration. Also, we reserve the right not to post a graphical secret if we deem it inappropriate. We reserve the right to determine what we consider inappropriate.

As clarification I wanted to mention - in response to an email we received recently - that we were not striving to be an academic Post Secret site. That component is just something we added, because it has the potential to be interesting in addition to the core mission of the site: to allow academics (members and visitors alike) to discuss whatever is on their mind.

Remember back in college when you would hear about secret societies? We didn't get invited either. But we persevered and now, laptops in tow, we live as stealthy moles inside the grove of academe. We come together as members of a society so secret even we don't know who we are. academicsecret is a confederacy of bloggers connected to the academic world in various ways. By design, participant identities are unknown to one another and the administrators.


MORE SECRETS

In addition to featuring traditional blog content, A.SECRET also offers the option of expressing secrets in graphical form. This option is available to both members and non-members alike. Plaid is responsible for posting all picture secrets. If you would like to contribute an academic secret to this blog then please send a graphical representation (i.e., a picture) of your secret to asecretplaid -at- yahoo.com. We will post your secrets for you. See this entry for more information and check here for a collection of past secrets. Credit goes to PostSecret for this idea.
