If you would like to submit a post for publication on the Ilankai Thamil Manram Florida blog, please observe the following guidelines:

• Choose a topic which is directly or indirectly related to Sri Lankan and/or Thamil culture (if you choose a topic peripherally related to Sri Lankan/Thamil culture, please find some way to relate it to Sri Lankan/Thamil culture)
• Maintain a non-biased, neutral tone throughout the post
• Please be respectful and do not include any offensive/graphic language
• Attribute any quotes or data you include, and if you would like a word/name within the post to include a link to another website, please indicate so and include the web address
• Keep the post approximately 400-500 words long, and ensure paragraph length lends itself to easy reading
• If the post is in Thamil or any language other than English, or any words in the post are in Thamil, please provide an English translation
• Ensure the blog is typed and sent in a format that can be easily cut and pasted into the blog page (preferably Microsoft Word or Wordpad)
• Provide the username you would like to use as your author name on the post (can be your actual name or a custom username) and a valid e-mail address (which may receive notification when comments are left on your post)
• If possible, please provide a photograph/picture relevant to your topic that will be placed at the top of the post (if there are people in the photograph, please obtain their permission for the photograph to be used on the website, and if the photograph/picture is not your own, please obtain permission from the photographer/artist)
• If you would like your post to be published on a specific date, please indicate so and we will do our best to accommodate

Our goal is to publish at least one post per day depending upon availability of content. We are interested in relevant posts regardless of whether the author is a member of Ilankai Thamil Manram Florida, as our goal is to inform and educate. An author may proffer as many posts as they would like, as we are always looking for additional content. Please reference previously published posts as examples of desired format and subject matter (https://thamilmanram.com/blog/).

Please submit proffered blog posts to: ThamilManramAsstSec@gmail.com .

Thank you.
