Author's Bio

Can you (Admin) suggest a way to submit bio info for purchasers of articles? I noticed (just now) DIY.com prefers one as well as a photo. How can we get one through the 'no personal info' clause?

I'm not sure if Admin would OK this or not, but my first instinct was to write up a bio & photo, and put it up separately for free - usage only. That way, anyone who wants the bio / photo can download it to go with your article, and anyone who doesn't isn't stuck with it in the article.

Hold up until we get final word on this. I'm asking about it and hopefully someone will come up with an answer soon.

Thanks,
Ed

thanks Ed and Sera.

I had a similar thought as well - especially because DIY doesn't actually want it in the articles either.

Add a second document to the same submission and add optional at the top of that. Do not make it a part of the same article (same Doc). The Bio should not contain contact (email, address, phone) information, just name and a little bit about yourself.
