93
+
94

Copy the Template: Begin your draft using [this Google Doc template](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L7vzsYORg9xmf72ljTdmyekpq2vJ7eQZ9atM2uAXgUM/edit?usp=sharing) to maintain a consistent format.

Review Process##
97
+
98
+
Initial Reviews:
99
+
100
+
* Once your draft is ready, request specific reviewers or ask for feedback on the #tech-team Slack channel.
101
+
* Incorporate feedback and refine the blog post.
102
+
103
+
Finalizing:
104
+
105
+
* When the draft is stable, create a pull request in the [interledger.org-developers](https://github.com/interledger/interledger.org-developers) GitHub repo.
106
+
* Please add links where appropriate so people can easily click to learn more about the concepts you reference.
107
+
* Include all images used in the post in the PR.
108
+
* No-one is expected to know the ins and outs of Astro (the framework that powers our site), so please tag Sarah as a reviewer to ensure everything Astro-related is in order.

### Working with Visuals
111
+
112
+

113
+
* Before uploading images to GitHub, run them through an image optimizer such as [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com/).
114
+
* Ensure images are appropriately sized; feel free to ask Madalina or Sarah for assistance.
115
+
116
