Compass Designs

Are you a good writer?

This is your chance to get noticed on the #1 blog about Joomla! We are looking for skillful writers who can share their expertise about Joomla.

What we want

We are looking for either full length tutorials on some aspect of websites and Joomla 1.5, or shorter blog posts about the Joomlaverse. We are looking for original and insightful articles and posts that is of interest to a well-informed Joomla readership.

Only original work is accepted, submission and publication means you'll agree not to publish it online anywhere else. 

What we don't want

We don't want a news release about an extension, or that a new site has gone live using Joomla. We don't just want a step by step guide to do X, but why you want to do X in the first place, and how it can effect your website.

How should it be written?

Articles, tutorials and posts should be in valid XHTML markup and include all images used. The path on <img> tags should be /images/stories/contribute/.

If you use headings, start with <h2> and use <h3> as needed. 

Feel free to include a link to your own site in an author byline.

Where do I send it? 

Your contribution can be submitted to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it as an html file along with images zipped up. You can email questions to the same email.

Why Contribute?

Writing for a high traffic blog such as Compass Design is a great way to get yourself publicized. Approaching half a million page views a month, your peers and customers will read your work, read about you, and visit your links in your bio.

The page rank 8 link probably wouldn't hurt either :)
