How to Write for PowerShell.org

There’s a thought that stops a lot of good articles:who am I to write for PowerShell.org?

It’s our brains safety net from the (highly unlikely) possibility of getting denied. Or worse! Accepted! And now we’re forever on the hook to be an expert. But it’s not true.

You don’t need to be anMVP. You don’t need ablog, afollowing, or aclever opinion about the pipeline. You need one thing you figured out that the documentation didn’t explain well. The-Filter quirk that cost you and afternoon. The script that finally tamed a chore you’d been doing by hand for a year. If it helped you, it’ll help someone else who’s about to lose the same afternoon.
