## Typesetting
- everything in 1.15 line spacing, Arial, 11pt font. No space after paragraph, no indents.
- Section headers are indicated by two breaks beforehand and one afterwards, followed by the body of the new section. Format them in blue for bold.
- Italics should be formatted in red, bold in blue, and bold italics in purple.
- Longform quotes should be left and right indented by .5"
- all instances of -- should be changed to —; em dashes should not have spaces.
## Style Guide
Top of the article should include:
> Title
> by Author
> Tag, Tag, Tag, Tag
[Tags Reference](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-X74n2j46pELMDy6DfiXMIWngeBAOqPyLlTHWwjL0pw/edit) - but Resource, Culture, History, Nature, Politics, Resource, Review, Writing, Fantasy, & Flash Fiction are my most common tags. No more than 4 per article.
- Wordcount between 1,000 - 7,500.
- Italicize the first instance of imaginary words as if they were foreign words, but not instances following.
- Use the oxford comma
- Bullet points should not go deeper than one level.
- Images should be linked via comment and not actually included in the file.
- Citation format: Chicago Manual of Style — Footnotes or a Works Cited page are both acceptable.
## blog stuff
```
@Eleanor (she/her) here's what we need to do for the blog posts (until ReEvadere and I sort this stuff out):
After you're done making the post, follow these steps:
1. Add this HTML code to the top of the post in the code editor tab:
<!-- wp:image {"id":1592,"className":"row"} -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<figure><img class="wp-image-1592" src="[LINK TO IMAGE HERE]" alt="[If image contains text, write it out here]" /></figure>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8"><!-- /wp:image -->
Replace the [LINK TO IMAGE HERE] bit (including the square brackets, but leave the quotes) with the link to the image you want to use as the featured image. Don't put the image in the featured image bit on the right.
2. Add this code to the bottom of the post:
</div></div>
3. Use this template for your excerpt:
<div class="row"><div class="col-12">
<p>
<img src="[LINK TO IMAGE HERE]" alt="[again, any text in image goes here]" width="300" height="300" />
</p>
</div></div>
<div class="row"><div class="col-12">
<p>[ONE OR TWO SENTENCE EXCERPT HERE]</p>
</div></div>
```
