password to access the system. Then click on "Submit new press release"
and follow the directions. After you make any changes you want and click
"Finished", your press release is reviewed by Linux PR editors for quality
assurance. If any problems are found, you are notified via email about
the nature of the problem and you can return to Linux PR to edit your press
release as you see fit to resolve the problem. Linux PR editors do not

-
Are there any guidelines for press release formatting?
Yes. Please observe the following basic guidelines:
- Please use HTML formatting.
- Please do not use special formatting in the headline or lead.
- Please use 'title' or 'sentence' case for headlines.
- Please do not include images or links to images in the body of your press release.
- Please keep all formatting simple and limited to basic tags: <strong>, <i>, and anchor tags. The more complex your formatting, the more likely your press release will be delayed.
-
How soon after I submit the press release will it become publically
available?
Once the release is submitted, it goes into the quality assurance area,
where our editors check it for relevance and HTML formatting. Once it passes
this area, it is introduced into the Linux PR Wire. Linux PR has editors
based around the world, so your press release will be processed in a timely
manner - usually within a day, although no guarantees are made.
-
How long will the press release be available on Linux PR?
The press release will be linked to from the homepage for an indetermined
amount of time, and will remain in the Linux PR archives (available for
searches) indefinitely, or until the user ID who submitted the release
specifically requests that it be removed.
-

Absolutely! Linux PR is a part of the Linux Today network, and is completely
supported by the sponsorship of our advertisers. For more information,
