Thank you for the article guidelines! They were very helpful! My only question would be why we aren't supposed to put punctuation under the subjeadings?
@CoffeeAddict07 thank you for this question! this is just our general presentation, but in general, titles and headings do not need to be punctuated unless for example, it is a question. Additionally, if you subheading was more than a sentence you could consider using punctuation but at 7 Cups, we try our best to just use one short sentence.
I understood all the points, no questions at all.
