1. The blog is not particularly sensitive to length; the editors and authors work together to publish posts that many readers will be willing to read completely.

2. You are welcome to publish overlapping ideas from a blog post you author here in other venues. If the ideas are already published, it is important to reference/credit those sources, and it is good practice to do something new (including reframing them for an audience of mathematicians and mathematics educators) for a blog post.

3. The editors think that images generally pull in readers, so we are interested in knowing about your plan for graphic elements.

4. The editorial board takes a broad view on the focus of the blog. The most common feedback we give to guest authors on drafts are ideas for developing the interest of readers in the post's topic and on helping readers understand why the post is published through this blog.

5. Publishing a post on this blog does not mean that the entire editorial board approves of the content of the post, and it does not mean that the author speaks for the AMS. The board will occasionally insert editorial comments into posts as it deems appropriate.

6. Rich tellings of your personal experiences interpreted through lenses that make broader sense of those experiences make for strong blog posts. You should not feel the need to solve every challenge that you are able to articulate; however, many readers will want to act after reading blog posts, so including resources or ideas for next steps is appreciated.
