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
