Guidelines for Guest Bloggers

Hello, guest bloggers!

If I have contacted you to guest-write for Tips on Research Planning and Love, it’s because I’ve found some of your work (like Facebook status messages, blog posts, our online conversations, etc.) interesting. So here be some guidelines as you set about your task.

First, keep it short and simple (or, KISS). This blog is geared towards the 300- to 500-word range. Of course, there are times where I’ll allow you to go beyond this when needed, but it’s 1,000 words tops.

Next, keep it honest. If you’re going to use ideas, pictures, and artwork from other sources, please give them due credit by properly citing your sources.

Finally, keep it clean. Refrain from foul words. I just simply don’t like it.

One more thing: I reserve the right to edit your entries for clarity and conciseness.

I look forward to your work. God bless you!

Love,

Sir G
