   FidoGazette Article Submission Guidelines   
   Updated 20 March 2022   
   ======================================================================   
   The FidoGazette, founded in September 2007, is an alternative   
   newsletter of the Fidonet BBS mail network for both its sysops and   
   users.  It is distributed electronically via Fidonet, the World Wide   
   Web, and FTP.  The FidoGazette welcomes articles, editorials, and   
   features of interest to the Fidonet community.   
      
   To have your article included in FidoGazette, simply send it to me   
   via:   
      
     - Netmail: 1:18/200 (no file attachments unless you are crashing my   
   	     BBS directly via BinkP)   
      
     - Email  : sysop@outpostbbs.net (please use "FidoGazette Submission"   
   	     as the title for any message)   
      
     - FTP    : anonymous FTP to bbs.outpostbbs.net in /incoming (please   
   	     send me a message to let me know either in the   
   	     FIDOGAZETTE echo or via netmail/email)   
      
   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).  The text must not have any encoding of any kind.   
      
   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.  Please do the following at the   
   top of your article:   
      
   *Name Of Your Article   
   Name Of Your Article   
   Your Name (Node Number)   
      
   The starred line will appear in the Table Of Contents.  The lines   
   after that will appear on your actual article.   
      
   6.  Include your name and node number (or 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.  I normally check email, netmail, and the FTP   
   directory before I finalize the edition and send it out Sunday   
   evening.  So if I get your article before Sunday evening, I'll include   
   it but send it by Saturday 10 PM Eastern/New York 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, The 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!
