Editorial Guidelines for
Yeepet.com
These guidelines are not meant to stifle your creativity nor
give you a headache. They are to ensure quality content for our users and
visitors and hone you as a writer. The guidelines apply to blogs, articles, and any
other submitted editorial content. These guidelines are subject to change, and
it is your responsibility to stay up to date on them.
1. MUST BE YOUR ORIGINAL WORK: That means no copy and
pasting from the public domain, no plagiarism, no ghostwriting, no Private Label
Rights (PLR) articles, no advertisements, and no press releases. We want to read
what you have to say.
2. MUST BE PET-RELATED: Yeepet.com is a
community of pet lovers. Unless otherwise stated, you can safely assume that any
assignment or suggested topic is pet-related. For example, if the topic of "How
to Survive the Holidays" were assigned to you, that means "How to Survive the
Holidays With Your Pets" or "How to Survive the Holidays For
Pets."
3. MUST USE CORRECT ENGLISH: This includes spelling,
punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, and capitalization. Incorrect usage of
the English language reflects poorly on Yeepet.com and your writing. Please
proofread before submission. In particular, note these rules from The Chicago
Manual of Style for capitalizing blog and article titles:
- Capitalize the first and last word.
- Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate
conjunctions (such as, "than," "because," "if" and "that") are
capitalized.
- Lowercase all articles, prepositions, and coordinate
conjunctions (such as, "and," "but" and "so") when they are not the first or
last word.
- Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive.
For stylistic purposes, please also apply these rules when
creating your blog and article titles:
- Excessive punctuation is unnecessary. Use periods rarely for
emphasis (...), and no more than three. Use exclamation marks rarely. One
exclamation mark (!) or question mark (?) is plenty. Do not use more than one of
either or both at the same time.
- Your title is what pulls your readers deeper into your work.
Make it count. Short and sweet is a great motto for this. For example, "10 Toys
Under $10" is far better than "I Saw Some Great Toys While I Was out
Today...".
4. MUST NOT CONTAIN OFFENSIVE CONTENT: Profane, racist,
defamatory, libelous, violence-oriented, obscene, or insulting language will not
be tolerated. Your submissions must not contain pornography, use or advocacy of
weapons, illegal drugs, prescription drugs, tobacco products, or hard alcohol.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. Yeepet.com reserves
the right to reject and/or remove any editorial content at any time.
5. MUST BE ACCURATE: It is the writer's responsibility
to ensure the content of their submission is accurate.
6. MUST HAVE PROPER ATTRIBUTION: If you quote any
source other than yourself, you must give that source attribution. Also, do not
post any pictures that are not within legal bounds for you to do so or that are
not the sole property of the writer. The writer is ultimately responsible for
ensuring the legality of any content or pictures in their respective
works.
Blog Writing Guide
It's great to share your knowledge and opinion; it's even
better to be heard when you're doing it. The following tips are provided to help
our blogging team attract more readers to their posts. Happy
blogging!
Would I read this?:
This is a great question to ask yourself
before posting a blog. Check out your headline first. Is it so intriguing that
if you saw it, you would just have to click and find out more? Be honest and
objective with yourself. Move onto the blog. Is it entertaining or informing
enough to keep your reader engaged through the whole
posting?
Short, sweet and concise: Some topics take longer than others,
but it is generally better for you to keep it short and sweet. Why? Because many
of us have short attention spans and want entertainment and information in
bite-size form, not term paper format. We all hated those.
Get to the point quickly: Write down steps in the 1-2-3 format and briefly explain what they are. People need to understand what you are talking about quickly.
Great
grammar: It's difficult to think
highly of a writer's opinion who can't properly use the English language. We
probably all need a brush up from time to time, so try to review every now and
again. Here are some common grammatical errors that can make a good blog look
bad:
It's and its:
- "It's" is a contraction for "it is" or "it has." If you say a sentence out loud and can replace "it's" with "it is" or "it has," you have it right.
- "Its" is a possessive pronoun, as in, "Yeepet.com is its name."
You're and your:
- "You're" is a contraction for "you are." For example, "You're going to buy some new fish?"
- "Your" is another possessive pronoun, as in, "That is your dog eating off the table."
There, their, and they're:
- "There" is used in a variety of ways such as, "There is my cat," or "Take that over there."
- "Their" is a plural possessive pronoun, as in "Their mother will arrive soon." It is only used when there is a belonging of something. It is their mother.
- "They're" is a contraction for "they are" or "they were." "They're going to Orlando today."
Break it up: One huge lump of text just screams, "Don't read me."
It looks like too much work to tackle the whole thing. Break up your blog into
easy-to-digest paragraphs, and it will look far more appealing to your
reader.
Write what you know and love: If you do not know nor care anything about the topic
you chose to write about, by all means find another one. No one wants to read
from someone who has complete apathy about their
subject.
Lots of linking: It's always good
to include links to other sites (as long as it's permissible, of
course).
Pictures: Same goes for pictures. Nothing is like a 500-word
blog about the smallest dog in the world, and there is no picture of him. Make
sure to review Yeepet.com's policies on picture
posting.
