I'm sure I've left out a lot of areas we DO cover. These are ares we'd like to cover more.
We're looking for smart writing supported by links, interviews, digging,good logic, imagination, vision, heart and guts. We ask that you re-read and edit your submissions and submit using 10 point verdana font. Don't paste directly from MS Word. transfer first to a program that produces less formatting, like wordpad or your email software. Then copy to OEN. And always keep a backup copy. Don't write in the submission box.
If you use a Mac, OEN works best in firefox.
