[The Retrocomputing Blog](https://retrocomputingblog.wordpress.com "The Retrocomputing Blog") is now live! Thanks to our volunteer bloggers for committing to the blog and [Automattic Inc.](https://automattic.com "Automattic Inc. Homepage") for hosting it, we have been able to launch our very own blog!

We have some [guidelines for blog posts](https://retrocomputing.meta.stackexchange.com/q/210/278 "Is there a format for blog posts?"), which should be read by all potential contributors to the blog. If you want to write a post for the blog (and are not a regular contributor), please let one of the site moderators know, either in chat or by replying to this question.

If you want to contribute to the blog, please set the email address in your [preferences](https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/users/preferences/) to the address you would like to use for [WordPress](https://wordpress.com ".com, not .org"), then post an answer to this question (not to the original proposal) explaining what / why you want to post. We might not accept new bloggers immediately, so keep checking your Stack Exchange inbox.

The blog, as well as providing extremely useful information and Making the Internet a Better Place™, will also serve to publicise our site – provided that high quality content is posted on it, and backlinks are placed where relevant.

If you have just finished researching for a detailed answer and are burning to share the other stuff you found out along the way, keep all those tabs open: the blog is a brilliant opportunity for you to do so. If you are working on a project with retro hardware, you can meticulously document every step of the way. Many people will find it interesting and, who knows? Somebody else might be doing something similar and find it useful too.

I hope this blog will play a major part in preserving the rapidly diminishing retrocomputing knowledge, and might eventually become a major source of information for answers on the site. If everybody contributes one high-quality article to the blog – describing their experiences, search for knowledge or hardware project – we will have a fantastically vast wealth of information for everybody to share and enjoy.

With your help, we can once again go above and beyond in making the internet a better place.
