&lt;P style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6; color: #1b3139; margin: 0 0 16px 0;"&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;Hi Community!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6; color: #1b3139; margin: 0 0 14px 0;"&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;We're introducing formal &lt;STRONG&gt;Content Guidelines&lt;/STRONG&gt; for the &lt;STRONG&gt;Databricks&amp;nbsp;Community&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://community.databricks.com/t5/technical-blog/bg-p/technical-blog" target="_self"&gt;Technical Blog&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;–&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;full document attached below&lt;/STRONG&gt; as a PDF.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6; color: #1b3139; margin: 0 0 14px 0;"&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;The Technical Blog exists to help the community learn from each other through genuine technical knowledge, real-world experience, and practical insight. It's not an announcement channel – it's a space built on trust, where what you read is something you can actually act on.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6; color: #1b3139; margin: 0 0 28px 0;"&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;As the community grows, we want to protect that. These guidelines make sure every blog published here is technically accurate, adds real value, and reflects genuine expertise.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;LI style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6; color: #1b3139; margin: 0;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Customer Organizations&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;– organizational contributions only&lt;/LI&gt;
