• Add 1–2 high-authority tech blogs (Smashing Magazine, SitePoint, ReadWrite) for brand and SEO.
• Always check each site’s write-for-us/contribute page for topic fit, code requirements, and linking rules before pitching.

If you share your stack and typical topics (e.g., backend, frontend, DevOps, AI), I can suggest a tighter 8–10 site shortlist that best matches your profile.
