Rules and Regulations
SingingEels is a community based web site dedicated to producing quality content
for the benefit of the development community. We are always reaching out to expand
and diversify our author base, but at the same time we want to ensure the highest
standard of quality possible.
For Authors
The #1 way we contribute content is through articles because they are focused on
a particular topic under one or more of our main categories. All articles must be
strictly about the categories it's under, but the actual article topic can be about
almost anything underneath these. Articles submitted that do not clearly apply to
the category selected may be required to change or be rejected all together.
Articles can include images and code snippets that are automatically highlighted.
Images must be between 80 by 80 and 540 by 600 pixels in width and height, and cannot
be larger than 120kb in size. Please do not upload content that does not belong
to you. Any material that is not clean and technical in nature will be removed,
and may result in your account being deleted.
Anyone can become an author on SingingEels by following these simple steps:
- Create an account and fill out your profile. This will allow search engines to credit
the content to you as you advance your own community recognition.
- Write at least a rough-draft article about any topic under one or more of the main
categories. Make sure your article is original, accurate and teaches something.
You can include pictures, code samples and source files.
Your article will be reviewed by a site moderator for quality purposes. When your
article is approved it will included in the "recent articles" section of the site,
attributed to your "user details" page and submitted to Google and Yahoo as part
of a regular site map feed. If your article is about ASP.NET, we may also submit
it to the ASP.NET homepage, www.asp.net.
Your name will be attributed as the author.
For Bloggers
Blog posts tend to be a little more "free roaming" than articles, and we as developers
expect that. Blog posts can be about pretty much anything as long as it's clean
and relevant to the development community. Occasional non-technical blog posts is
acceptable.
