Guest Post Guidelines

We’re looking for actionable and practical content.

Our readers seek professional advice, so practical examples are very important. After reading the article, readers should not only have gained new insights and ideas, but also know how to actually implement them in practice. The more practical your tips, techniques and ideas are, the better.

We like authors who aren’t afraid to show their opinion. The more thought provoking your article, the better. Please don’t forget to support your thoughts with links to sources that illustrate your ideas. Our goal is to engage our blog audience in a meaningful discussion.

Key Points

• The post must be well-written in English.
• High-quality, original content, not boring and not previously published elsewhere on the web.
• Once the content is published on our blog, you must not republish it elsewhere online.

Bio

• Please include an author’s bio that is 2-3 sentences long explaining who you are and what you do.
• Provide an email address linked to your Gravatar profile and a link to your Twitter profile.
• You can include maximum 2 (do-follow) links in the author’s bio section.

Post Structure

• Create an exciting headline.
• Break up the paragraphs into easy-to-digest chunks.
• Use bulleted lists with a brief description and links if necessary.
• Use bold and italics for emphasis, not underlining.

Post Length

• Length isn’t the main factor, but quality content is. Your post should be as long as it needs to be to convey the message, but no longer.
• 800 words in length minimum.

Headings

• The title and all headings should be appealing, concrete and descriptive.
• In H3 headings, please capitalize the first letter of every word, e.g. “How to Build Tabbed Content Boxes Using Twitter Bootstrap”.
• Do not capitalize articles (a, an, and the), nor prepositions of three or fewer letters (such as of, in and for).
• Please do not use full stops (periods) at the end of your headings.

Commas & Abbreviations

• Add a comma before etc.: “Use Photoshop, Illustrator, Gimp, etc.”
• Please do not abbreviate or use symbols for everyday words: give and take, not give & take; design and develop, not design/develop; versus, not vs. (except in headings).
• Using “i.e.” to precede a clarification is OK. It comes from the Latin “id est” and means “that is” or “in other words.” E.g. “Your client (i.e. the one in charge) will have final say.”
• Using “e.g.” is also fine when brevity is required. It comes from the Latin expression “exempli gratia” and means “for example.” Use it when listing only some of all instances of a concept, and do not follow it with a period, e.g. “Open your browser of choice (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Safari).”

Images

• High-quality images and screenshots are important in our articles. Please always store full-size images locally in case we may need them again. Images should be attractive and relevant and should not have low-quality artifacts. They should be legible and properly cropped.
• Do not re-scale images and crop them to focus on the point of interest.
• Images should be a minimum of 600 pixels wide.
• Make sure you own the copyright to any images you submit with your posts. Otherwise, provide the links to image sources. You can use images from royalty-free stock photography websites like Unsplash, Pexels or Pixabay.
• We require an intro/thumbnail image with the post.

Links

• Link to an external web page once every 400 words (800 word article = 2 dofollow links, 1200 word article = 3 dofollow links, etc).
• Use readable text for link anchors, not URLs (unless significant). So Themely, not http://www.themely.com/.
• Make sure links are relevant and valid.
• Cite your sources and back everything up, provide links to a study or an article, to any resources or tools, to support your claims.
• Do not include affiliate links.

Spelling

We follow US spelling (e.g. “color” instead of “colour”). Please refer to the Merriam-Webster dictionary for all other spellings. You can also use a tool like Word Counter to check your spelling and word count.
