Style Guidelines

Prior to sending your final content to the editing team to review for publication, please check that your content conforms with these pointers.  For written style, spelling, grammar, etc. for use in ‘Text and Image Tutorials’ on the LoopBlog please see these style guidelines.

Plagiarism and Crediting Sources

There are a few issues to be mindful of when putting together content.

• Always credit your sources. When you credit your sources, it’s clear that you aren’t trying to hide something. For video tutorial submissions it also lets our editors check that the tutorial is acceptable.
• Use common sense and err to the side of caution.  There are no hard and fast rules about copyright.  Beware of “rules” like ‘copying 40% is OK’, there’s no such thing.
• Remember that even aside from exact words or images, it can be the idea or principle.  If you think something might not be OK, then trust your gut and don’t do it.
• Include links to the source of any images you have used in your tutorial wherever it has been used.  If you do not include your image sources your tutorial will not be accepted, because we need to verify that the file is OK.
