Disability blog formatting guide

This is a reference guide to the standardized formatting that should be used for all disability blogs to ensure consistency and to ensure that blogs both appear to be written by the same entity and don't appear to be haphazard copy/paste jobs!

Generally speaking, the 'standard' settings to be used unless otherwise specified is Times New Roman, 'Normal' font size, 'Normal' in the heading menu, no bold, italics, or underlines.

Headings

As in the above example, major headings should be in 'Large' font size, 'Heading' from the dropdown menu and both bolded and italicized. Major headings are the same as those listed in Brandon's disability outline table linked below, slightly adapted for the particular disability you're talking about. You can omit headings if absolutely necessary, but any that you choose must be limited to the seven in the table.

Note that major headings are the ONLY time you should use any setting in the dropdown menu at the top that isn't 'Normal'! The only thing that menu does is add spacing above and below text, which is beyond annoying if not used sparingly. 

Subheadings

Main sub-headings or important words within a paragraph (such as warning signs in the Blindness blog) should be bolded normal text. Use as many as you want as your discretion.

Sub-sub-headings

If you require a second tier of subheadings, the second tier should be normal italicized text.

• Listed items

If some information in your blog constitutes a list that doesn't have its own built-in pretty formatting from whatever source you got it from, use your own discretion as to whether each item would look better with either underlined items OR in bullet point form.

References

Generally speaking, we are not experts in most forms of disabilities. If you happen to have personal knowledge and/or experience in living with or working with people with a specific disability, then pleasefeel free to add information drawn from your own experiences while trying your best not to inject personal opinions or biases. For all other information, try to use sources whenever possible. If you use a source, they should have a in-text reference directly below the quoted text, on its own seperate paragraph. This reference should be Small font size, italicized, and begin with From:.    

Resources

For the resources section at the end of each blog, each resource should have a title in normal bolded text, then the resource link in normal text on the next line. Put a space between each resource, but ensure that there is no space between the title and link of the same resource.
