New Community News Options For Evolutionary Designs Readers

I have decided to add a community news submission option to Evolutionary Designs. Currently, I am looking into several submission options and way to submit those submissions to Evolutionary Designs. Until I have it figured out, you can submit your articles to the Evolutionary Designs Tumble Blog. There is a submit page where you can submit your original articles or great articles you find. But please only submit articles about design, photography, SEO, Photoshop, tutorials, freelance, blogging and business. If you click on the Community News tab on the menu bar, it will take you to the submission page.

If your articles are approved, they will post live on the Tumble blog and then some articles will be added to the Weekly Mash Up. Currently, we are only approving one or two articles a day but once there is need, we will post more. So start your link building today, and submit your articles to Evolutionary Designs Community News.

The Mash Up

Take a look at the articles and tell us what you think of them. If you want your articles featured on our Mash Up, start commenting, sharing articles and talking with me on Twitter, Google+, and Facebook.
