   Hi everyone,   
      
   I've updated the FG submission guidelines.  They're available via FREQ or   
   anonymous FTP (bbs.outpostbbs.net in /fgazette) using the filename   
   FGAZSUB.ZIP.   
      
   Here they are if anyone wants to submit to the FG:

   FidoGazette Article Submission Guidelines   
   Updated 13 January 2021   
      
   FidoGazette, founded in September 2007, is an alternative newsletter   
   of the FidoNet computer network, for both its Sysops and users.  It   
   is passed to its readers electronically via the FidoNet and other   
   computer networks and to non-network readers as well as to the   
   InterNet. FidoGazette welcomes articles, editorials, and features of   
   interest to the Fidonet Community.  To have your article included in   
   FidoGazette, simply send it via netmail to 1:18/200 or via internet   
   email to sean@outpostbbs.net.   
      
   To help me make it easier to format your article for FidoGazette:   
      
   1. Use standard ASCII text.  Most word processor formats can't be used   
   by the FidoGazette software.  In addition, the FidoGazette software   
   won't accept most ASCII control characters nor any characters above   
   ASCII 127 (this, unfortunately, includes all those neat box drawing   
   characters).  No UTF-8 encoding please.   
      
   2.  Start your lines at the left of your screen when typing.  The   
   software puts in a left margin automatically and I have   
   to manually remove any left margin appearing in your document.   
      
   3. Keep your line length to under 70 columns for tables or charts (or   
   if you include an ASCII illustration).  Regular paragraphs exceeding   
   this 70 column limit can be reformatted during the editing process   
   but tables and charts are normally distorted beyond recognition by a   
   simple reformatting.   
      
   4.  Separate paragraphs with a blank line.  This is how my text editor   
   recognizes paragraph endings so I have to add blank lines manually if   
   you don't.   
      
   5.  Title your article as you'd like to see it in the Table of   
   Contents.  If you don't, I'll make up a title for you, but I'd rather   
   have the article appear as you wish.   
      
   6.  Include your name and node number (or internet email   
   address) under the title.  I'll grab it from your message, if   
   necessary but again I'd rather have the article appear as you   
   wish.   
      
   7.  Check your own spelling and wording.  Though I feel free   
   to reformat your article so it conforms to technical requirements, I   
   generally leave the wording (and spelling) alone as I don't want to   
   distort what you have to say.   
      
   8.  Send your article before Sunday in order to see it in that   
   Monday's edition.  Normally I put the newsletter together Sunday   
   evening and send it out... and I normally check email and netmail   
   before I finalize the edition.  So if I get your article before   
   Sunday evening, I'll include it... but send it by Saturday to be safe   
   :)   
      
   9.  If you're not sure whether you should write or send in your   
   article, I would encourage you to send it anyway.  Chances are, if you   
   write of something of interest to yourself, it'll be of interest to   
   others.  Besides, FidoGazette is a better publication when it's   
   written by a variety of people.  We're all in this together and   
   remember, knowledge is power!
