Enjoy writing about WordPress? The WordPress community is filled with talented individuals who create plugins, release themes to the community, and come up with all sorts of WordPress hacks and tips that can help fellow WordPress users.

If you enjoy writing about WordPress, Hack WordPress is currently accepting guest author applications for one original quality post a week.

What does writing for Hack WordPress get me?

In return for your original quality post, you get the chance to introduce yourself and show your writing talents to all of the Hack WordPress readership. This will typically convert to additional traffic and subscribers for your weblog. You will also get full credit for the post with a post-level link to your blog, and your blog will also be linked at the top of every post you make.

How does being a guest author work?

When you sign up to contribute a weekly post to Hack WordPress, you will receive your own login information, and your account will be set as a contributor. Being a contributor means that your post will be published upon approval.

Currently most guest authors write once a week, however, how often you write is left up to you. If you only want to contribute 5 posts total, that is fine.

We do not edit or change your posts in any way. Any changes or modifications have to be done by the author. We only add a quick blurb about the author and a link to the authors blog.

What kind of author are you looking for?

Hack WordPress is a blog focusing on the popular open source software WordPress. We are looking for individuals who enjoy writing about any of the following subjects:

• WordPress Hacks or how-to posts
• WordPress Tips
• WordPress Discussions
• WordPress Plugin reviews

Rules & Guidelines for Guest Authors

The rules are in place to ensure that the quality of posts and integrity of the site remains high.

• The post/article should not be reproduced anywhere else on the web including your own blog (neither party benefits from duplicate content).
• Any images used in the post cannot mess up the design of the site. As a guideline, the max width of any picture you post should not exceed 550 pixels.
• It is ok to link to your own blog if it is relevant to do so (eg. referring a coding example or whatnot). However, you should not write articles around topics to justify a link to your blog and you should not actively encourage visitors to visit your blog. Remember, you get a link to your blog at the top and bottom of your posts plus a link on your author page which is also linked to at the top and bottom of every post and the links are clearly marked so that your site gets exposure.
• No affiliate codes or referral links are allowed in posts.
