 ## Purpose
 The Tidal Cycles blog is intended to be **by -- for -- about** the Tidal community.
-Anyone engaged with Tidal Cycles is encouraged to submit a blog post. Topics can be about Tidal practices, music made with Tidal, live coding, event coverage, new developments & releases, community, etc. Topics can also be broader -- anything that would be of interest to this community, and it doesn't have to be limited to just about Tidal!

 ## Templates
-To make participation and submitting posts easier, there are a set if templates. These produce a set of patterned blog posts. Each template includes a suggested set of content sections, but consider this just a starting point. The most important thing is to provide content that reflects your unique perspective.
