Anyone involved in the initiative must have a thread( or two ) in the Breeding Journal forum detailing your progress though out the challenge. Anyone that does have a regularly updated thread will at the very least be guaranteed of receiving a certificate of participation. There will be other awards as well given out during the course of the Initiative for achieving specific milestones and at the end of this year's initiative. 

When you create your thread a template will automatically be created to insert the details about your setup. Please leave all fields even if that don't apply to you or you don't have the information. You should come back and update this first post in your thread on a regular basis. This provides a single point for people to see a summary of your attempts without scanning pages and pages of posts. 

To use the template, simply click the third button in the tool bar and select the MBI Breeding Journal Template. You only need to do this on the first post of your journal. 

The Subject of the thread should look like:

Breeding Journal, Species:   [Insert Species Name Here ( Scientific Name required )]

And the body should look like:
