   =================================================================   
      
                          How to Submit an Article   
      
   If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here   
   are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred   
   method if you want reasonable control over how the published article   
   will appear in the Fidonews:   
      
   a) Plain text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably   
      quite OK. TABs (ASCII 09) are not allowed -- there's no knowing   
      how long you've set your tab markings. No line may be longer   
      than 70 characters.   
      
   b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first   
      time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on   
      the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the   
      format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,   
      the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put   
      your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you   
      may want to add some other address where you can be reached for   
      personal comments.   
      
   c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.   
      
      
   In case a) and b) above is not crystal clear, here's an excellent   
   summary by Ward Dossche, a major article contributor:   
      
   Piece of cake:   
      
   1) Ascii text   
   2) Line length of 70   
   3) Put this at the very top:   
      
   *The title of your text   
   The title of your text   
   Your Name - Your Nodenumber   
      
   The title is there twice, the line with the * is how it will be   
   visible in the table of content.   
      
      
   Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects   
   and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration   
   file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file   
   extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.   
      
   Ideas for Subject areas:   
      
       Subject                  File |      Subject                 File   
   ----------------------------------|----------------------------------   
    From the *C's              *.css |  Rebuttals to articles      *.reb   
    Fidonet Regional News      *.reg |  Fidonet Net News           *.net   
    Retractions                *.rtx |  General Fidonet Articles   *.art   
    Guest Editorial            *.gue |  Fidonet Current Events     *.cur   
    Fidonet Interviews         *.inv |  Fidonet Software Reviews   *.rev   
    Fidonet Web Page Reviews   *.web |  Fidonet Notices            *.not   
    Getting Fidonet Technical  *.ftc |  Question Of The Week       *.que   
    Humor in a Fido Vein       *.hfv |  Comix in ASCII             *.cmx

    Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let   
      
   If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT   
   on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.   
      
   If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem   
   in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out   
   of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message   
   sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your   
   article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I   
   can not fix and I need your help on it.   
      
   Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:   
      
               Bj”rn Felten   
   Fidonet     2:2/2 or 2:203/0   
   E-Mail      b @ felten dot se   
   Skype file  bfelten   
      
   IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the   
              word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it   
              will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper   
              folder.   
      
   Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.   
   That way I will know to look for it.
