They do not need to ask the site directly. You must allow us to use your article as advertising to being visitors to the site. These will usually be advertised by e-mailing other webmasters the new information, along with maybe a small extract, a link to the main site, and a direct link to the article itself. Other rules and laws probably do not concern us as much, but if there are other things that may concern us and other article writers, please tell us so we can investigate more into it, andchange our copyright stuff appropriately. Article Guidelines Articles must be at least 400 words, with hardly an upper limit.
Pictures are a big no-no.
To make sure for quick loading, generally, the only images that are allowed are for the advert at the top and the main logo. If you really need to put an image on the site, please make sure the image is truly relavent, and must be required, or else the article would be a bit pointless. As a guess, this would apply to hardware, since there are loads of buttons and switches and stuff, and one small mistake could cost you a lot of money. I will allow images, but only if they are small and really relavent. Of course, any images that are put as an extra to the site that are written by staff writers are allowed, since they actually earn their bandwidth.
