How to Submit Your Post

1. Fork the HydePHP.com repository or use the GitHub.com website
2. Create your post file in the _posts/guest-posts/ directory
3. The filename should be the post title in kebab case
4. Include the required front matter (example below)
5. Submit one post per pull request

Make sure to proofread your post to ensure proper spelling, grammar, and formatting.

Here's the required front matter template:

 1title: "Your Engaging Post Title"
 2description: "A brief 1-2 sentence description of your post"
 3category: "Guest Posts"
 4author:
 5    name: "Your Name"

Style Guide

Please use Markdown formatting for your post, and use a clear heading structure. You don't need to add a level one heading, as HydePHP adds that based on the front matter title. Start with level two headings, and try to only use level two and three headings.

When using links, make sure these are not overly promotional, and that they only lead to relevant and useful resources. Paid/sponsored affiliate links are not allowed.

Acceptable AI usage:
