While the author retains the copyright to any article accepted, the act of submission grants Blackthumb Bob the right to publish the article on this website and the article may remain a part of this site as long as Bob wants it to. (Anyone who needs more legal jargon than this need not submit articles. Basically, if you send it in, Bob can use it as long as he wants too, but you retain all rights to it and can do whatever else you want to with it.)

What can be submitted? Any articles or stories, serious or HUMOROUS, tips and pictures related to gardening may be submitted.

How to submit: Text should be submitted to Blackthumb Bob by means of simple e-mail. Use something like "Article for Bob" as the subject.

Compose your article in your favorite word processor and cut/paste to your e-mailer or use the link below and paste into your browser's e-mail feature. Photos should be sent as attachments in GIF or JPEG format. Photos should be no larger than 400X300.

Bob will format your text for you. Don't use headlines, don't center. Since e-mailers all vary, enclose text to be bold with this set of characters:

<BOLD> This text would be in bold face type. <BOLD>

Likewise use this for italics:

<ITALICS>Bob would format this text with italic font for you.<ITALICS>

That is about all. Write that article and send it in!
