You’re invited to write for Coastsider

Coastsider was designed to be created by contributions from the community.

We’re looking for all kinds of contributions: links to coastside-related stories on other Web sites, first-hand accounts of coastside events (especially if you have pictures), descriptions of recreational opportunities (hiking, biking, picnicking, surfing, etc) on the coastside, opinion pieces from all viewpoints, and news. The only requirement is that it be directly related to our community.

To contribute all you have to do is join the site—it’s free and it’s private—by clicking on the "Register" link at the top of the left-hand column.  You can then send us your story by clicking on the "Submit a story to Coastsider" link that will appear once you’re logged on.

Once we’ve reviewed your story and checked your spelling, it will appear online.

If there is anything I can do to make this easier or less intimidating, email me using the "Email Barry Parr" link on the left-hand column.
