<p align="center"><strong>Guest Blog </strong><strong>Participation </strong><strong>Guidelines </strong></p>
Hello! Thanks for your interest in guest blogging here at <a href="http://judythewriter.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">View from the Front Porch</a>.

I love hosting others. That’s what the <em>Company’s Here </em>category is all about--others sharing their story.

Guest blogging is for anyone ... everyone.

If you have a word of wisdom to share or insight on anything faith or fiction focused or maybe a moving or amusing anecdote waiting for an outlet, you’re invited.

Only three guidelines:
<ol>
	<li>Articles or essays MUST be new. <em>Please don’t send something that has already been posted on another website without updating.</em></li>
	<li>Length between 500 and 700 words. <em>Shorter is better.</em></li>
	<li>No controversial or political topics.</li>
</ol>
Pick a date from available dates.

Everything in 2015

Once you’ve decided what to write and a date, here’s what you’ll need to do.

Copy and paste the form below into your word processor.
<ol>
	<li>Fill out the form completely.</li>
	<li>Save the file by renaming the MS Word or RTF file with your name (example: JOHNDOE.doc). That will help me keep things organized.</li>
	<li>Return the completed form to <a href="mailto:judythe@judythemorgan.com">judythewriter@icloud.com</a> as a MS Word or RTF attachment.</li>
	<li>You can include a jpg file for any images you wish. No large images and Please only <em>legal </em>to copy images. Your photo would be nice to include, but not necessary.</li>
</ol>
Once I receive your email...
<ol>
	<li>I’ll confirm receipt, so if you don’t hear from me within 72 hours, please contact me.</li>
	<li>I wish I had time to send a reminder before your date, but I don’t. So please mark your calendar.</li>
</ol>
