Contest Brief

Hi everyone!

Here's the challenge:

Sign up to www.itsupportforum.net and write a relevant how-to article on any subject listed in the forum (If you want to write about a subject and there's no forum for your topic, message me to create one). Once you've done this, message me with the username you signed up to in the forum.

The person who writes the best article wins. Articles will be judged on the following:

- Relevancy to the forum they are posted in
- SEO
- Good English
- Accuracy of the solution - if you don't provide a solution to a problem or teach someone how to do something, you won't win. Sorry.
- Uniqueness

Bonus points for anyone posting articles on how to fix a particular computer error message and if someone's article gets lots of Google +1's or facebook likes!

If there are a lot of applications, I'll do another competition with a bigger prize!

    I want to write about different types of ink for printers. Can you make a forum about that? I also want to write about printers that can be used for T-shirt printing and other special types of printing purposes (ex. lanyard printing, mugs, etc.)

    Hi, that certainly would be an interesting article, but I'm looking for something in keeping with the website, so something IT related like "How to fix error xxx" or "how to make an image in photoshop do something...", etc...
