The Contributors Quick Start Guide is almost complete. Today, I wrote more content for the Making a contribution section bringing it to completion. See the pull request.

Next, I'll write about the review process and what contributors should expect from it. I'll also write about how they can make changes to their contributions in response to moderator requests.

Here's the content I added today:

---

Write the post

This area is where you will compose your contribution. You can enter text, upload images and format your text with a wide variety of options. The editor also accepts markdown and some HTML. Learn how to format your text using markdown or HTML.

A preview of how your post looks will appear beneath the page. It is updated as you make changes and a draft is automatically saved to reduce the risk of losing your work.

Add tags

Tags allow your post to be searchable on Utopian and it is necessary to only use tags that are relevant to the contribution you are making. Examples of tags are: bugs, design, logo, copywriting or translation.

Choose your reward option

Utopian gives you two ways in which to receive your STEEM rewards:

1) 50% SBD,50% STEEM POWER (default)

This option gives you 50% of your rewards in SBD, which is a form of liquid STEEM. It can be transferred and spent immediately. You can trade it for Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, and ultimately exchange it for the fiat currency of your choice.

The other 50% will be in Steem Power, which is STEEM that is bound to a smart contract that lets you withdraw your STEEM in 13 weekly amounts. Steem Power has a lot of utility in the Utopian ecosystem, and more information about its importance is available in the knowledge base.

2) 100% STEEM POWER

This option gives you all your rewards in the form of Steem Power, which you can withdraw through a 13 week schedule by "powering down" your Steem account. Learn more about the Steem blockchain's economic model.

Submitting the contribution

Once you're done writing your contribution and have added enough metadata, and selected your reward option, you can now submit your contribution to the Utopian moderation team by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking Post.

If you have left out any important fields or entered incorrect data, your submission will not go through. The relevant fields will be highlighted in red and an explanation of the error shown next to them.

If all the required fields are met, your contribution will be placed in queue to be reviewed by the moderators. You'll see a message on the page informing you of this, as shown in the image below. Learn why Utopian has moderators.
