I will be working diligently to help keep the site simple and easy to use.  Here are some tips you may use while posting.

  • Please avoid using the Uncategorised Section of this site.  I reserve that for the Front Page only. 
  • If you are unsure of which Section or Category to assign to your content, put it in OTHER.  If a new Section or Category is needed, I'll happily add one.
  • All articles will be reviewed to insure conformity and compliance with the goals of this site. 
  • Please do not use content for self promotion.  You may post links in the appropriate Section/Category upon approval.  A short bio at the end of an article is permissible.
  • If you are discussing several different topics, considering posting more than one article.  You may cross reference if necessary.
  • Keep your content relevant to the site and the subject matter.
  • While you are encouraged to speak your mind, do so in a kind and courteous manner.
  • Know the difference between a "fact" and an "opinion" and post accordingly.
  • Realize that the majority of people who visit this site are in desperate need of help.  Most likely, they feel the same way we all do.  Try to offer encouragement and support.  Ranting/raving will accomplish nothing.  In short, leave your hostility at the door.
  • If you need a place to vent, try to do so without cursing.  If you want to be taken seriously, a good vocabulary will help.  There are plenty of dictionaries on the web to help you articulate.
  • If you need help with an article, send a webmail to the webmaster and I'll try to help you.

SaveOurDestiny welcomes all who wish to contribute to the community.  Every author is important to our success.  While you may (or may not) be a published author elsewhere, you are valued and respected here.  If you remain courteous and professional, you will gain not only respect, you will gain support from places you never expected.

Thank you for your cooperation.
