[Publish Content](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/publish-content) # Feature an external blog not pulled in through one of our external blog providers This article explains how to feature external blog content on your uConnect platform while respecting copyright, proper sourcing, and content policies. Whether you have permission to post a full article or need to share a preview, follow the guidelines below to stay compliant and protect original authors. **Posting Full Blog Content from an External Site:** To post the complete content of a blog from an external website on your uConnect platform, you must have explicit written permission from the original author. This gives you the legal right to republish the article and its associated images. If you've obtained permission from the author, you may proceed to publish the full content under "Publish" \> "Blogs" \> "Add New." **Caution: Unauthorized Reproduction** Without proper authorization, you should refrain from publishing full articles from external sites on uConnect. Unauthorized use can lead to copyright infringement and legal complications. **Posting a Preview of Blog Content from an External Site:** If you don't have explicit permission from the blog's author to post the full content from an external source, we recommend the following alternative approach: Follow these steps: 1. **Write a similar but distinct title.** Create a title that captures the essence of the original without copying it exactly. For example, if the external blog is titled "10 Tips for Finding Your Dream Internship," you might use "Find Your Dream Internship With These Tips." 2. **Add a brief introduction.** Write 1–2 sentences in your own words summarizing the article's topic so your audience knows what to expect. 3. **Link to the original source.** Include the author's full name and a link to the original article so users can read the full piece on the external site. Write a brief 1-2 sentence summary of the article's topic in your own words to give your audience a sense of what to expect. Provide a link to the original source and include the author’s full name, allowing users to read the complete article on the external site. **Images and Copyright:** When featuring images within your posts, it's important to use images from free stock photo libraries to avoid potential copyright issues. This ensures that you're not infringing on the rights of content creators and maintains the integrity of your uConnect platform. We recommend using a website like [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/)or [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/images/stock) for free stock photos to find your images. **Content Removal upon Request:** uConnect is committed to respecting the rights of third parties. If an external source submits a legitimate request to remove their content from your platform, we will act promptly to remove it and notify you once it has been taken down. By following these guidelines and respecting the rights and permissions of external content creators, you can effectively share valuable information with your audience on uConnect while maintaining ethical and legal standards. **Content Partnerships and Collaboration:** We are always looking to expand our content partnerships on the uConnect platform. If you come across sources you'd like to add to our external blog library, submit your suggestions through our [secure form](https://clients.gouconnect.com/recommend-a-content-partner/). While we can't guarantee a partnership with every submitted provider, we will evaluate each one and announce any new partners added to the platform.
