  Author Guidelines and Best Practices • Trust: You are what you write. • Transparency: Online is public. Keep secrets at home. • Write what you know: Research if you need to, but make sure you know what you are writing about. • Are you adding value? The best way to get yours read is to write things that people will value. Is it positive or negative? It’s your decision. • Your responsibility: What you write is ultimately your responsibility.
