How to submit a blog post?

[izmeez]

In the zulip chat https://backdrop.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/228714-Community-Chat-.28other-topics.29/topic/The.20legend.20of.20Drop.20the.20Dragon and following up on previous discussions I have created a post of about 1,000 words called The Legend of Drop the Dragon. It is a bit of a fantasized history and was originally intended to ignite other stories on this mythical dragon. Now that it is written I am not sure what to do.

Can I submit it as a possible blog post to be added to Backdrop CMS? Or should it be in the forum? Although, I think it's too long for a forum post.

I originally thought if BackdropCMS.org used tags to link similar posts it might work.

Any thoughts? Shall I add it as an attached file to the issue?

@izmeez - Traditionally, we've given edit access to the blog to active members of the community that ask for it. You have certainly been active for a while and I'm going to give you edit access. This will allow you to add your blog post as a draft.

Then, I would ask 1 or 2 people to review it and give you some feedback before publishing.

It sounds like your blog post is a bit unconventional, althought it is something we have discussed. We might want to do something special with it, but until you have shared it with at least a few other folks, it's hard to say if that will be necessary.

I'll ping you in Zulip with next steps.
