# Where can I submit?
To submit your guide go to **[creating new file on this project's GitHub page](https://github.com/botcatalog/guides/new/main/_posts)**
# Naming
After logging in GitHub, look at the "Name your file" field
![Name Field](/assets/posts/name_field.png)
Your post must have name that matches this pattern: ``YEAR-MONTH-DAY-
`` (ex. ``2021-11-1-how-to-submit-guides.md``)
# Post metadata
