BikeSD.org is a grass-roots effort at citizen journalism. We accept submissions of press releases, articles, editorial content, and event notices. To maintain design consistency and content quality, here are a few guidelines we would like you to keep in mind. Submissions to BikeSD.org that do not meet these guidelines will be edited before posting, which may delay their appearance on the site. But we hate doing that, so don’t make us, okay?

• Keep block quotations to a minimum. Do not quote the entire (or majority) contents of an article posted on another website. Excerpt the article and provide a link.

• All links should be formatted to direct to a new window.

• If the post specifically references an article, editorial, essay, or blog post at another site, a link bearing the title of referenced piece must appear at the bottom of the post.

• All websites must be correctly identified by name (Example: the online presence of the San Diego Union-Tribune is correctly referred to as SignOnSanDiego.com or SignOnSanDiego, not the Union-Tribune.

• The titles of print publications such as newspapers and books are italicized, the titles on websites, blogs, etc. are hyperlinked and are not italicized.

• Posts should have an image or photo associated with them, if possible. Attribution must be provided (including a link, if applicable) for images originally located at other websites or online sources.

• A “journalistic” writing style is appreciated but not required; avoid run-on sentences, sentence fragments, colloquial language, and abbreviations.

• Submissions should be made to admin[at]bikesd[dot]org.
