Article Writing Tips

Before you write an article, be sure you have some time to devote to it. Quality articles are researched thoroughly, well thought out, and will require a few revisions. The editorial process also requires the author to be present; editors will be assisting authors with pointing out errors and giving them suggestions, not helping to write the article. That is the author's duty.

BBCode

BBCode allows you to specify formatting rules for your text,
even if you are not allowed to use HTML in your posts. BBCode
originated from the forum software named PHPBB, and this site
has a special implementation of it.

Guidelines for Authoring Articles
  • Proper Spelling and Grammar are mandatory Any author who does not take the effort to use proper spelling and mechanics in their article will have their article denied, and possibly outright deleted. Remember that articles are examples of quality content; write them as you would an English paper.
  • There is a 500 word minimum

    • A good 500 words is an excellent start to sharing an idea.

Guidelines for Editors

The editor role gives a member access to the unpublished content queue, allowing him/her to see articles and pages waiting to be published. An editor's job is to work with authors in order to eliminate spelling, grammar, and mechanics errors as well as offer suggestions on article content.

SOP: Attach an Image to a Post

Author's Notes

Attaching an image is easy, if a little convoluted. First, you must be aware, that there are limitations on images. You may only attach GIF or JPEG images and they are limited in size and each user is limited in what they can upload during their time here. Unfortunately, server space is hard to come by without copious amounts of money, and we're not set to start raking in the dough anytime soon. If you want to upload larger files, put them at someplace like Flickr,Photobucket, or ImageShack, either way, if you have the URL of the image, BBcode ([img] and [/img]) will allow you to add the image to any type of site content.
