Our current mainstream topics appear on the top of every article. The article you submit should be related to Alibaba Cloud. Content related to technology (not limited to cloud technology) are usually well-received by the community. However, we do not suggest writing about content related to other cloud vendors or competitors.
You can also take a look at our top posts and popular bloggers on the right sidebar to see what everyone else is doing.
We suggest formatting your articles in the Markdown language. You can refer to the following links if you are unfamiliar:
The titles/headers throughout the article should be in the Chicago Manual Style. You can input your titles/headers into the following tool if you are unfamiliar:
You can also use the toolbar to help you with formatting and uploading images:
Make sure to put whitespaces between each paragraph. Otherwise, the formatting of your article will be jumbled and harder to read.
Note: The preview function of the blog editor does not show all of the final edits. You can use the website below to preview what the final edits will look like once posted. You can input your data on the left pane and see a preview of the final edits on the right pane.
First, the article you submit must go through moderation. It will be edited by our internal Editorial Team to make sure it complies with the content regulations of Alibaba Cloud. Please send us an email at community@list.alibaba-inc.com and attach your article in an editable file format, ideally in Microsoft Word or Markdown. Generally, it takes 2-3 business days to finish moderation. We will contact you through email once it is finished.
After approval, you can go to the blog homepage and click “New Post” on the right to publish the article.
Here, you can find the Title, Abstract, and Tags that can be copied and pasted directly to the blog editor. Please upload the cover image. (We will provide cover images, but if you have a better one, you can also use yours. However, please be aware of copyright issues.)
Here is a screenshot of our editor:
After you publish the article, we will approve it in our backend. Note: There will be a time difference due to work hours and time zones. Generally, you can expect your article to be approved within 1-2 business days.
The content you submit must be your original content. Any previously content written published elsewhere is acceptable as long as you have permission to republish it. Any plagiarism or published articles found to be plagiarized will be deleted immediately.

Alibaba Cloud reserves the right to temporarily or permanently cancel or modify your article at any time in part or in whole or in part without liability to you.
