Submit News Items To The MasterPage
If have news or opinion items related to Poland, you may submit them to the MasterPage for publication. Here are our guidelines.
MasterPage Submission Guidelines
The rules for submitting your information to MasterPage are simple. Don't let them put you off. If you are not sure, do your best and submit the information. We will work with it and get back to you for your approval.
Your submission should be informative. It may not be promotional. It may carry your opinions but it may not promote any commercial interest for gain. For example, you may recommend the National Opera but you may not earn money by recommending it.
Keep the title length between 4 to 7 words and less than 65 characters including spaces. Do not use all caps in the title.
Keep article length between 700 to 2500 words
Break an article into two articles if greater than 2500 words
Use short paragraphs (3000 characters maximum)
Use original content, created and owned by you. Don't plagiarize by using content written or owned by someone other than yourself.
Submit the article in Word Document or Rich Text Format. We will put it into html.
When using factual information, you should give credit to the source of that information at the end of your article (For Example Source: www.sourcesite.com)
Links
Clearly, you cannot provide all the information every reader is looking for, and your article may stimulate a reader's need for more. Providing links to resources related to your article for your readers to go to for additional information is good netiquette.
When including external links in your articles,each link should be unique. In other words, each link should link to a different web page. For each link, a title, URL and description are required. Link to only relevant website(s). Link to only one page within a website.
For example, if you are writing about Krakow, links to informative pages for Krakow might be appropriate.
The articles that you submit to MasterPage should not contain affiliate links anywhere in the submission.
Credits
At the bottom of your article you will be given credit in the following format.
"This article is copyright Your Name/Business Name. For more information about Your Name/Business Name, you may visit his/her/its web site at http://www.yoursite.com"
The link to http://www.yoursite.com may be your business or personal site. It must be informative. It may not be a squeeze page, an affiliate link or made for adsense page.
Anonymous articles will not be accepted. You must stand behind what you submit.
Pictures
Images can liven up an article and grab a reader's attention and/or give further explanation. Whenever appropriate, include an image with your article. We may add our licensed images to articles during editing, where appropriate, to enhance your article.
Pictures should meet the following guidelines.
Width: Between 100 to 400 pixels recommended
Height: Between 100 to 500 pixels recommended
Optimal file size of 15K, maximum 500K
In jpeg format (.jpg extension)
Choose images relevant to your article
Proofread your article, including title and description, and use your word processor's spell checker.
Writers tend to get too close to their work, making it difficult to have a "fresh eye" for looking over the entire piece for "holes" and grammar / spelling / style errors. Therefore, proofreading sometimes works best if you leave the article sit for an hour or more before reading over it. It gives you some time to "distance" yourself from its contents. Better yet, have someone else proofread your work.
Other
Submitting your articles to MasterPage does not entitle you to financial compensation of any kind. You will not receive compensation from MasterPage or the users of the MasterPage for articles you submit.
The articles that you submit must be your own work. You may not submit articles written by other authors and the content must be unique. No re-branded articles allowed, you must be the sole copyright holder for each article you submit. Articles written by a ghost writer are perfectly acceptable as long as they are being used only by you.
By submitting your articles to MasterPage, you grant us the right to publish your articles. We may publish your article anywhere on our website, blog, or syndicate through RSS. We may also change where it appears at any time. And you may ask to have them removed at any time.
Submitting an article in no ways guarantees inclusion in the MasterPage. We reserve the right to reject an article submission for any reason. And we reserve the right to remove any article at any time after it is accepted.
To submit an article, send it as an attachment in email to MasterPage
