                       How to Submit an Article

If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:

a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
   probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.

b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
   time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
   the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
   format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
   the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
   your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
   may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
   personal comments.

c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 12:00 UTC.

Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known..

Ideas for Subject areas:

    Subject                  File |      Subject                 File
----------------------------------|----------------------------------
 From the *C's              *.css |  Rebuttals to articles      *.reb
 Fidonet Regional News      *.reg |  Fidonet Net News           *.net
 Retractions                *.rtx |  General Fidonet Articles   *.art

 Fidonet Web Page Reviews   *.web |  Fidonet Notices            *.not

 Humor in a Fido Vein       *.hfv |  Comix in ASCII             *.cmx
 Fidonet's Int. Kitchen     *.rec |  Poet's Corner              *.poe
 Clean Humor & Jokes        *.jok |  Other Stuff                *.oth
 Fidonet Classified Ads     *.ads |  Corrections                *.cor
 Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.

If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.
Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:

         Björn Felten
Fidonet  2:2/2
E-Mail   bfelten @ telia dot com

IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
           word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
           will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
           folder.

Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
That way I will know to look for it.
