Content Principles for This Section
• Written for the non-technical author — avoid jargon; use plain English for every technical term that must be included
• Lead with the problem, not the solution — the article title is what a frustrated author types into search
• Every article includes Randall's first-person voice and the ScribeCount connection
• Platform-specific articles stay current as of June 2026 — flag for review if platform UIs change significantly
• Scam and security articles should be reviewed quarterly — the scam landscape changes rapidly
• 'Hidden features' articles should be added to and refreshed as platforms add new capabilities
