Editorial Methodology

This page describes how BlogFans articles are produced and checked. BlogFans is an AI-assisted publication; the steps below are carried out by an automated editorial system operated by the site owner (see Editorial Team).

1. Choosing topics

Topics are planned around practical questions homeowners and DIYers search for. Before an article is written, its subject, reader problem and angle are compared with our existing articles so that we do not publish near-duplicates of the same guide.

2. Research

Articles are researched from published sources such as manufacturer manuals and specifications, safety and standards guidance, and reputable reference and industry publications. Current published sources may also be reviewed as part of research.

3. Drafting

AI models help organise the research and draft the article. Drafts are written as research-based guides; they must not describe hands-on testing, measurements or personal experience that did not happen.

4. Checks before publication

New articles are required to pass automated release checks before publication, including:

• Citations: a minimum number of authoritative external sources, and links that actually resolve.
• Claim support: checks that cited sources support the statements they are attached to; unsupported claims are removed or the article is blocked.
• Safety statements: stricter evidence requirements for numeric, safety and compatibility claims.
• Originality: checks against our existing articles for duplicated subjects and wording.
• Structure and links: valid page structure and working internal links.

These checks reduce errors but cannot guarantee that every detail is correct. For safety-critical work, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult a qualified professional.

5. Affiliate links

Some articles contain affiliate links. They are added when an article is published and are disclosed. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

6. Updates and corrections

Published articles may be re-checked, for example for broken links, and are corrected when problems are found. Readers can report errors under our Corrections Policy.
