As readers of the Guardian website, it can hardly have escaped your notice that we like to stay open. There are no pesky paywalls here, and we try to reach out as much as we pull in, but there is always space for more. And in few areas can this be as true as lifestyle - encompassing homes, gardens, parenting, food, fashion, relationships, health, fitness ...

There are an almost infinite number of blogs and sites dispensing advice, sharing looks, swapping recipes or just showing off aesthetically pleasing things. From specialist niches to general musings, a huge number of very talented writers are daily plying their trade.

We want to showcase the best of this content, and have a couple of different methods up our sleeves. The first possibility is a non-commercial content-sharing model, where we swap stories. We pull in yours, you pull in ours, we mutually agree a limited swap (say, one or two a week) and hopefully we both gain by the deal.

What's the advantage to you, as a blogger, you ask? The guardian site has a huge reach, some 2.6m users a day, all eager, willing and occasionally putting their foot down and demanding more. Your content will appear on our site, which we hope will give it the showcase it deserves, and get you higher up those all-important Google rankings than you might otherwise be. For examples, check out the Guardian Environment Network.

This wouldn't bring you any money, though. For that, there's a commercial possibility, where the Guardian Select team sell premium advertising across publisher blogs and sites. They, naturally, will continue to host themselves and retain all editorial control, but by forming part of Select, are able to receive higher CPM rate than they would alone.

Prospective partners will need to have traffic figures of at least five figures and, ideally, some demographic information. If you are interested in submitting your blog or site, please email the address below with a link and your monthly traffic figures.

We cannot promise that we will be able to sign up every blog, but we would love to hear from you at eleanor.gow@theguardian.com.
