I'd just like to take these few minutes before I have to run out the door chasing after the bus to tell mod leaders and everyone alike the format we'd like you to send your news in.

I notice a lot of you simply copy and paste the news directly off of your page, with your own formatting, links, and the like. This creates a more difficult job for me, as I have to sift through everything, remove the images, upload them myself, then re-do the news itself.

Also, try and refrain from using slang or cute words, like "beu-tee-ful", and "cre-ate-tiv-ah-tea"... it's very confusing.

Lastly, be as descriptive as you possibly can, with all the information I need to know right on hand. The news, links to your images (not formatted links, just the browser path), any links to features, forums, or anything you'd like mentioned relative to the news post.

Tell me the full name of the modification as well, so as I know what to call you (example, my modification is THE Somme Valley, not just Somme Valley). Give a one line description of the mod as well, such as "A WW1 modification for Half-Life 2", or "A Cyberpunk Half-Life 2 Mod".

Most importantly, keep that news rolling in! You can submit all of your news to news@hlgaming.com, and I will post it as soon as I'm available, which is faster when all of the above is followed.

Lastly, if you would like an interview with the HLGaming staff, or a feature article written about your project, e-mail me at chief@hlgaming.com telling me why you think your project should get a feature written, as well as any information or media you would like to present during the feature.

Thanks everyone, and keep gaming!
