Submission Details #announcement fstdt.com blog
Submissions for Community Articles is now open. To submit an article please do the following.
Send the following to Submit@fstdt.net
* A short intro about yourself and why you are part of the community.
* If you have any links that you want included please make note of them, I have little issue with cross posted material.
* If you wish to have the article linked to your account be sure to note that, I can get that setup.
* If you wish to remain anonymous as of the publishing note that and I will withhold all details, but I'm not doing completely anon submission. I want at least a name(real or used on the site) so I can have a private record.
* If you want editorial review indicate such and I'll see what I can do.
* Then the article as text within the email. I'm not doing attachments, it's all becoming HTML anyway.
Currently I have zero limits on topics, but do ask it be some how related to the site, it's topics or be particularly interesting.
I'll reply with any editorializing I would do on an article in my return message confirming the submission will be published and will wait on approval of my own comments before publishing.
Currently I'm the one and only person involved in reviewing articles, I will check with the author before sending the article to anyone else for review. Should an article be rejected the reasons will be noted in the response. If there is a significant number of submissions I'll make a note of it in the community channel and it may wind up in a holding pattern for a while.
Once an article is approved for publishing and I've confirmed the authors approval of my own comments I'll feed the article into a queue. Depending on how many submissions I get will influence how often it's posted, but right now my goal is one per week, most likely on Monday or Friday.
This post will be modified to be up to date with any changes in policy or requirements and can always be found as the first post in the community channel.
