If you've written an article for our front page and want a hand getting it ready for publication, post here!
New articles should be copy edited, which is largely my job as Technical Editor. They should also have a featured image. Often that can be something as simple as a screenshot, which you can supply yourself (16:9 ratio, preferably 720p or above, no text in the top third of the image), but at other times you might want something bespoke, which can be handled by our two Site Designers, Pixel and The Engineer.

Instructions
- When making a post here, please make it clear whether you need copy editing, graphics, or both. If you're requesting graphics, feel free to post any ideas you might have.
- If you're a member of staff, you are welcome to make requests in this thread, but you're not required to. You can self-publish your article, especially if it's important to get it out as soon as possible – proof-reading can be done after publication in those cases. Try to follow these guidelines but don't stress over every tiny detail.
- If you've written for us in the past but are no longer a member of staff, you can log in to our Wordpress dashboard and write a post, but you'll need an editor or an administrator to review it and publish it for you. Once you think it's ready, or if you want feedback at any point, make a post in this thread and someone will take a look.
- If you've never written for us before, post here and I'll set you up with the same permissions. We welcome contributions from everyone. In the meantime, you could use something like Google Docs to write a first draft of your article and share it with us.
