- Posts must be original - not posted anywhere else at any time.

- Do not include blind links in the article. The link should describe where it will take the reader, for example, "In author's open letter about why she is so awesome, ..." In this example (not an actual link) a) the author is properly credited and b) the reader knows where the link is taking them without needing to follow the link.
