Writing for NanoRed

First of all, that's great news and we'd love to have you as an our newest guest author! Let's go over some of the requirements and guidelines to write a professional, effective article.

Requirements

What's required, besides the article? We need some metadata that goes with it. The metadata helps customize how it's displayed in the front page and article's page. These metadata fields are required.

• title The title of the article
• description One sentence describing the contents of the article

The following fields are optional, but recommended to even further personalize your article.

• author Your name, how you'd like to appear on NanoRed
  • If not provided, the author will be Anonymous
• date This will be set to the date the article is published or has major edits
  • The articles with the most recent dates are shown on the front page
• tags You can categorize your article with existing tags or create your own
• thumbnail The image URL address to use as your article's thumbnail
  • This is shown on the front page and at the top of the article's page
  • Unfortunately, we cannot accept raw image files, so they will need to be uploaded to a service like postimage or imgbb to generate a URL for the image
