Guide-Writing Guidelines

Hey guys, thanks for helping out. Here's what's up.
Check out the sidebar to see what guides are done/are being worked on. You can also look at the Guide Writers page to see who's working on what, what's finished, and what's been added to the site.

If you want to write a guide on something that isn't listed on the sidebar, contact me and tell me your idea, and I will probably add it. That list is just a rough guide.

If you want to write a guide on something on the left that does not have an asterisk, IM or email me (leiapico, leiapico at gmail dot com). If you're lazy, you can just click "contact" up there on the top bar and it'll take you to a form that will email me.

I'd prefer the guides to be written in Notepad or some other simple text editor. Microsoft Word tends to go funky somehow with copying and pasting sometimes. Minimal HTML is preferred within the guides, like links, images, and paragraph break tags. If you make a graphic or have a screenshot to go with your guide, send it along as an attachment in the email with the guide and I can host it on the site and include it in your guide.
Make sure images are 510 pixels wide or less. Otherwise they won't fit in the area the text goes into. Please resize them, or at least let me know they need to be resized.

If you're not sure how I want the guides, if you click the Beauty Contest or Trading Post guide to the left, they are good examples.

Please make the guides as extensive as you are able! The goal is for this site to be a ONE-STOP guide site!

I reserve the right to edit guides to make them integrate with the site more seamlessly if I think it's necessary. Updates may also be added to your guide as new things happen or change in Neopia. If you'd like to edit/add to your own guide when changes occur, please contact me ASAP, or I'll do it for you.
If you're not sure what I'm looking for, look at the other guides to get an idea.
