Good to meet you, Roger Blonder, and thanks for your interest in Weeds & Wildflowers. I have added you as a writer — welcome to our Garden!

I see you are new to Medium and don’t currently write for a publication, so I will give you some instructions, in case you need them:

Write your piece — be sure to give credit for any images, including your own.

1. Once your piece is ready, click on the 3 dots in the upper right-hand corner of the page that are to the left of the little notifications bell
2. Click on the top choice “Add to publication”
3. Under the publications list, choose Weeds & Wildflowers (which is probably the only one you have if you don’t write for any others)
4. At the bottom of the window, click “Select and continue”
5. Now you will have a green button at the top of the page with your piece that says “Submit” — click that
6. A new window opens and it should say “Submitting to Weeds & Wildflowers”. Beneath that is a place to select up to 5 tags. Choose your tags.
7. Once your tags are chosen, click the green “Submit to publication” button

For image credits, if the image is your own or one from a family member or friend for which you have permission, simply state that under the photo/image. If it’s an image from a website, etc, the credit must be searchable so I can confirm you can use the image. I see you’ve used Unsplash before and that is perfect — already set up for what Medium requires.

Draft submissions are preferred so your piece shows up properly on the page.

That’s it. Let me know if you have any questions — always here to help.
