Show & Tell

Got something to share with the world?  Most of them won’t see it here, but our little family of readers will give it their weird and inappropriate attention.

Here’s how:

1. Email mi@machiavelliid.com and tell me
• Who or what you are
• Where you blog (if you don’t blog anywhere, that’s fine)
• What you’d write about on here
• Where else we can find you (Twitter, Facebook, whatever)
2. Write what you like, and people like you will read it.  Send it to me or upload it to our guest blogger account as a draft.
3. Don’t send us stuff you’ve already had published somewhere else, please.  If you want more exposure on a certain topic, write a new post about it.
4. Include nice relevant, attributed public domain images where you can, cos everybody likes a good picture.
5. Write yourself a byline/mini-bio/shamelessly self-promoting blurb that I can put at the end of your post.  You’ll get a one-line intro at the start of the post as well with your name & a link to your main blog/site.
6. If you want your byline to include a photo or logo, email me that too.
7. Please don’t put affiliate links (like clickbank, go, affiliatewindow, and so on) in your guest posts or bylines because I’ll have to remove them.
8. If you’ve got a one-on-one deal with someone that earns you a kickback for customers that find them via a link in your post, that’s fine with me (I may not even be able to tell, if they’re just using something like Google Analytics to count clicks).  But if it looks like an affiliate system to me, the hyperlink gets removed.
9. Stuff in as many non-affiliate links as you want.  I’ll only delete them if they’re boring (drab p0rn, search pages, bad web services) or despicable (non-consensual p0rn, virus peddlers, predatory fearmongers).
10. Be aware that I edit all posts on here, but I’ll check anything beyond spelling, punctuation & grammar changes with you first.
11. Listen, if I really don’t think your post fits on this blog at all, I’ll turn it down so you can put it somewhere better.  No offense.

Still reading?  Nice one.  Email me now, then.
