Competently format the article

This article is intended to help all those who want their article published on the forum.

I say right away that this is not a set of rules or laws on which to write articles. The forum rules and regulations can be found here https://zelenka.guru/rules/, and they apply to articles as well.

These are simply tips, guidelines, and recommendations for formatting articles that will significantly speed up the moderation process.

I also want to note that even with proper formatting, if the article itself is not interesting or valuable to other people, it won't make a difference. At the end, I will provide some examples of well-formatted articles.​

Article Structure

1. The title of the article should be short, without capital letters, and correspond to the content of the article.
2. Start with a greeting and a brief summary of the article. Avoid excessive verbosity, although this rule can be applied to the entire article.
3. After the greeting, get to the point. To make the article easier to understand, divide it into several parts and provide a subheading for each part based on its content. For those who are new to the topic, the subheading doesn't need to be a long sentence; a couple of words will suffice. If there is no need to divide the article into parts, simply follow the sequence of actions.
4. Once you've divided the article into parts, proceed to write each of them. Stick to the topic of each respective part.
5. If you are providing step-by-step instructions, include a screenshot after each step (if necessary), preferably hidden under a spoiler (especially if the image is large). If there are no stages or steps, try not to make the text a solid block; instead, structure and enhance it with images.
6. Once you've finished with the main part, move on to the conclusion. Summarize the results, draw a conclusion, share your successes, leave links to your previous articles, or express gratitude to someone.

For the "Ways to Earn Money" section

1. When creating a thread, use the prefix "White," "Gray," or "Black."The thread should include evidence of the profit obtained from the method described. If the profit is generated on a specific website, provide proof of money withdrawal from that site.
2. The topic must contain evidence of profit from the published method. If the profit is obtained on some site, then a proof of withdrawal of money from this site should be attached.

Appearance

1. Try to express your thoughts correctly and use punctuation marks, observing the norms of our great and mighty language for as long as your knowledge allows. Yes, we are not on the exam, but this does not mean that you can write like a first grader (unless you are one).
2. Start sentences with a capital letter, and end with a dot, indent after punctuation marks.
3. It is better to align the main part of the text to the left; introduction, subheadings, important information can be centered.
4. Highlight the subheadings with a font larger than the main text.
5. Use caps lock only in exceptional cases.
6. Try to use a neutral color scheme. Especially applies to lovers of flowers, from which ripples in the eyes, which makes reading the article and the perception of information difficult. Choose 2-3 soft colors and design the article using them.
7. Highlight important words in the main text, if you have them, in color or in bold/italics.
8. Use the list if appropriate.
9. Emoticons are welcome, but don't abuse them.

Now to the illustrative examples

• https://zelenka.guru/threads/2151820 / Yes, even if the article is not particularly useful to a wide range of people and it uses paid software, but nevertheless the design is more than decent: it is written without excess water, everything is structured, the font and color are pleasing to the eye, all steps are accompanied by screenshots.
• https://zelenka.guru/threads/1681483 / In this well-structured material, everything is laid out on the shelves. The remaining components are at a satisfactory level.
• https://zelenka.guru/threads/1966035 / Not a bad design, everything is consistent according to the points, although everything is written in one font.
• https://zelenka.guru/threads/1953471 / Excellent design, nothing to complain about.

The most important thing is not to be lazy, reread the article before publication, correct typos and errors, make sure that the material is presented clearly and intelligibly!

Don't save time on writing an article, because it's better to write one sensible one than 10 garbage ones!:podumai:

Good luck to everyone! We are waiting for your well-designed articles!​
