Article Style and Structure
Writing for a web site is very different to writing for print publications. Simply put, visitors to a web site scan the content rather than read off the screen in detail.
IIDM has compiled a list of tips, to assist Contributors in writing in an effective manner for the web:
Simple & Effective Writing for the Web
For further assistance, there are many articles published on the web site regarding writing with clarity, purpose, persuasion and influence. (Enter the keyword "writing" in the search facility.)
IIDM publishes articles that are of a practical nature, provide a solution or issue resolution, in a step-by-step format, and that conform to high professional writing standards.
Tip: Narrative or opinionated articles are not desireable.

Web Site Linking
IIDM will include a hyperlink to the Contributor's web site in the author acknowledgement, where the Contributor enters into a reciprocal linking arrangement.
The IIDM 'Linking Policy' prescribes the text to be published on your web site (and includes a copy of the IIDM logo):

Tip: A text version of the 'Linking Policy' and a copy of our logo is available on request, for ease of loading to your site.
