The Meat (or Tofu) of the Post

Voice: Please remain at least relatively positive and upbeat, but don’t be afraid to give criticism either. Share your opinion directly, but don’t be a butt head.
Citation: If you take information, please refer to those sources in your post.
Images: Add whatever pictures you think would work. We may add in some as well.

Format

Your article should include the following:

Title: Try and think about it from the perspective of a reader. What would be attention grabbing to you?
Paragraphs: Separate your article into 2-5 sentence paragraphs. Many people on the internet like to “scan” articles.
Subheadings: Subheadings allow a reader to further “scan” the post. Once again, this is great for the audience. They sum up main points in paragraphs or groups of paragraphs.
Length: Articles should be above 350 words, and shorter than 750. We are lenient about this though. If you have an incredible article with valuable information you think people would get a lot out of, we will work with you. Don’t be afraid to ask. In the past, we have broken articles into a series of posts and people loved it! There may be other options as well
