My tips are these:
1.) Clutchless changing up the box is good and a great feeling, just make sure your gear pedal is correctly adjusted or you'll never get it.
2.) Block changing is fine provided you do it properly and match the rpms to the gear otherwise you'll lock up the rear wheel. Tbh I only block change a couple of gears at a time unless I have to stop for traffic lights and I don't have time to change down 1 at a time.
3.) Push right to go right. Self explanatory
4.) Don't take forums too seriously (as if I would). Everyone has a different opinion, make your own. Having said that there is a very large consensus that changing down without using the clutch is a very bad thing.
5.) Have fun and go at YOUR pace, not other people. If they don't wait for you then find new people to ride with.
6.) See 5, can't stress this enough.
7.) Don't rely on other people's brake lights and road positioning to line up for a corner. You may not be happy to lean as much as they do and they may be using the gears and doing engine braking.

Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
