ASPAlliance Community Author Guidelines
Community Contributions
ASPAlliance.com welcomes contributions from the developer community. We will accept
and approve quality articles from anyone in the community provided they do not violate
our article guidelines or others' rights. We do not provide compensation for community-contributed
content.
If you have received an invitation to write for ASPAlliance.com for compensation,
please refer to our premium content guidelines.
Article Guidelines
- Articles can be on a variety of topics provided they are related to software development
using Microsoft .NET and related technologies.
- Plagiarism will not be tolerated. When in doubt, use your own words and cite
all references. A References section at the end of the article is encouraged. Articles
found to be plagiarized will not be published.
- All articles must be in English, use proper spelling and grammar, be broken into
paragraphs properly (one complete/related thought per paragraph), have an introduction
that orients the reader to the topic covered, a body that covers the content thoroughly
and concisely, and a conclusion that wraps things up, leaving the reader feeling
like the topic of the article (as stated in the introduction) has been covered adequately.
Formatting Guidelines
- All articles must be submitted using the
ASPAlliance.com Word template.
- Do not use custom styles or other unusual formatting in your article; stick to the
styles in the template--you can embellish with bold and italics where necessary,
but other formatting is not acceptable.
- Images should be embedded in the Word document where the author wishes them to appear
in the flow of the article; they cannot be wider than the page width.
- Break long code lines apart into multiple lines so no code will be cut off if someone
tries to print.
- Make sure the article displays without the need for horizontal scrolling when viewed
at 1024x768 resolution. The Word template's page widths are set to approximate the
available real estate on an ASPAlliance page.
- When referencing other articles on AspAlliance.com, use the full title URL like
so:
http://aspalliance.com/475_Make_Reports_Quickly_With_ASPNET_and_XML
- Whenever possible, include a sample project with your code which the reader can
download. Preference is given to articles which include a working example of the
concept for the reader to download.
