IMPORTANT NOTES

Certain text styling, like font sizes and paragraph alignment, is not supported.
Text pasted directly into the "main body text" box from another application, like Microsoft Word, may lose some of its formatting.
Some users may experience word count issues when pasting material from outside sources. If this happens to you, please try using a different web browser.
Posts containing an excessive amount of links, or which appear to be primarily for the purpose of Search Engine Optimization, will be rejected.
