 Posted: Mon Mar 14, 05 5:24 pm Post subject: How to submit an article to Downsizer.net |
 
|
If you have an article to submit to the site (cheers!) please can you follow the guidelines outlined below - it makes it quicker to get your article up in the way you wrote it!
1. Please submit articles as a plain text document.
2. Please mark where in the text you would like any photos to appear, by highlighting in blue at the exact point, i.e. (Pic 1 here please)
3. Please rename all pictures "Pic 1", "Pic 2" etc. before attaching them to your email with the text of your article.
4. Email your submission to editor@downsizer.net. Thank you!!!!!
If you've any questions, you are welcome to pm Judith, or Sean or ask on Authors Corner, or in the forum relating to the article you are going to write.
(Nb thanks to Nettie for wording this so clearly, and apologies for my butchering of it, anything missing or wrong, is my fault though!). |

If we construct the whole article at home prior to sending, does that cause problems at your end?....Is it better for you if we send text and pix seperately? |

Not problems really - if you find computers a bit difficult, don't worry, we can sort most things out. It's just that to make consistent formatting etc the text has to go in to the editing software as plain text so a Word doc is handy to work from.
It's easier and quicker for me if text and pics are separate, but I wouldn't want that to stop people making submissions.  |

No, you can only use pictures from other sites if you have permission from them. Usually that's a question of a quick email to the site owner, who will often be quite happy to provide them in exchange for a link and a credit. More corporate sites might not be able to grant permission so easily - it's also possible that another member will be happy to provide a pic or two - for example, Madcowman's lambing article has pictures kindly provided by Rob R.
A further alternative is a link like those on Cab's articles, to someone else's archive. This means you can provide info to your readers, without infringing copyright and in fact, doing those sites a favour by providing more links! |
