Hi,
I am brand new and have a couple of questions. I did not see any place to include your resources for your article. Are we supposed to include them within the article or at the end as a bibliography?
Also, very important, can we quote experts using quotation marks? IF not, how do we utilize expert opinions and statements without changing everything they said around?
Help on this as soon as possible would be so appreciated

Re: Submissions
This is web writing so I never include a resources list / bibliography. Using sources is great for credibility - just cite them in the text.
"A proposal on page 157 of Obama's 2011 Draft Budget found at whitehouse.gov would allow the Treasury to change the metal composition of all coins under $1." Note the link is not clickable. The buyer can decide if he wants to turn that into a hyperlink. Never include the www or http:// in your links.
You can quote experts in quotation marks. "Limit quotes to a couple lines of text." (Ed said this). The buyers are looking for original content, so if you want to talk about what an expert has to say go ahead but put most of it in your own words.
