What are AltGlobe's guidelines for blog posts?

Here are our general guidelines for posting blogs on AltGlobe.com and some more tips you might want to be aware of.

Original materials
- All blogs posted to AltGlobe should be original, unique materials written by the blogger who submits them to the website. (Learn more about adding content to AltGlobe on our Terms of Use page).

Complete articles (blog posts) - Only complete articles will be accepted. Nevertheless, feeds from Bloggers' external blogs will appear in some places only as teasers or lists that are click-throughs to the original article/blog on their sites.

Who can blog on AltGlobe - Everyone can blog on AltGlobe! It does not matter if you are an experienced blogger or a newbie that is about to start with its first blog post ever. Everyone is a teacher and everyone is a student here, therefore the possibilities to grow your audience, relationships and knowledge are endless.

Your blog content - Share with us your knowledge, ideas, thoughts, feelings, and experiences from life and enrich us with your positive solutions for them (if you have any).  Our bloggers talk about all aspects of life from home and garden to health, well being, education, food and so many more. The unique thing with AltGlobe bloggers is that they all write about the positive aspects of these issues. For example, popular topics on AG will be Organic Gardening, Green Living, Sustainable Products, etc.
Only post things that you wish to share with the rest of the world on AltGlobe. After submitting your blog (or feed), its content will be available to many people who are part of our network. See below more info about spreading the word.

No advertisment on blogs
- To advertise your holistic services, your web site or sustainable products, there are other forums that you can use, rather than blog posts. If you did not find your way to expose your products or services, email us and and we will help you out.

Word editor use- You may use the rich text editor or HTML to add formatting to your blog such as headers, bullets and other features. As a blogger on AG you get a bigger selection of features that can help you with putting your blog together. This editor is pretty much like a word doc. Click here for more information on formatting your blogs with HTML. If you did not choose to be a Blogger on AltGLobe when you registered, email us asking to become a blogger and have free access to the AG editor.

Spreading the word about your blog - As a member and a blogger of the AltGlobe community, your blog post will be available to all AltGlobe's website users and to the broader AltGlobe community on social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter and others. This will happen automatically once your blog is approved by our team. Nevertheless, if you want to draw more attention to your AltGlobe blog post, use the links at the bottom of your AltGlobe blog to submit your post to any of the social networking sites. 

Supporting media in your blog post - If you use someone else's media to move your idea on your blog, make sure that you have the rights to do that, as described in our Terms of Use. If you do have the rights, properly cite the creator of the original work.
