Articles vs Guides
Academy posts come in two formats, each optimized for a different purpose: Articles - Editorial long-form reads. Structure: kicker, reading focus, intro, sections (each with optional callouts, pull-quotes, and inline images), key points, takeaways, FAQ, resources, and a final CTA. Guides - Hands-on step-by-step tutorials. Structure: estimated time, goal, prerequisites, what you’ll build, numbered steps, troubleshooting, takeaways, resources, and a CTA. The format is chosen when the post is written and drives both the author template and the reader layout.Who Writes the Academy?
Everything published in Academy today is written by the CCTools editorial team. Community submissions are not open yet, so no post has been published by an outside author. See Writing an Academy Post for what the flow will look like once the writer ships. Each post page shows a rich Author Card with the writer’s avatar, display name, Level, total XP, and a link to their public profile. Posts without an attached author fall back to a “CCTools Editorial” byline.Finding Posts
