We publish expert guest posts on unit conversion, measurement standards and the places they go wrong in real work. If you know a subject properly, we would like to read your pitch.

Going the other way, miles to feet does the reverse conversion. If you want a figure already worked out, conversion chart lists the common ones, and about & methodology documents every constant used here and where it comes from.

Related conversions: ft/s to mph for speed, sq ft to sq miles for land area, and feet to mil for the unit people most often confuse with the mile.

Do you accept guest posts?

Yes — FT to Miles accepts expert guest posts on unit conversion and measurement standards. Articles must be 1,000+ words, original, and sourced to primary standards rather than other blogs. Email your title and outline to gemprogrammersgp@gmail.com before writing, and we reply within about five working days.

Topics

What we are looking for

Four kinds of piece consistently earn a place here.

Measurement standards, explained properly

How a unit was actually defined and by whom — the 1959 Yard and Pound Agreement, the deprecation of the US survey foot, why the nautical mile is 1,852 m. Primary sources, not paraphrased blog posts.

Field experience with conversion

You survey land, plan flights, coach runners, or spec coatings in mil. Write about the conversions that actually bite in your work and the errors you have seen cost money.

Worked, checkable maths

Step-by-step conversions with the arithmetic shown. Every number in the piece has to be reproducible by a reader with a calculator.

Historical and etymological pieces

Furlongs, Roman miles, the chain and the rod, why imperial units divide the way they do. Well-sourced history performs strongly here.

Guidelines

Submission rules

  • 1,000+ words. Shorter pieces do not cover a topic well enough to be useful.
  • Original and unpublished. We check, and we will not publish syndicated content.
  • Every factual claim is sourced. Link the standard, the agency, or the paper — not another blog.
  • Open with a 40–60 word direct answer to the title question before any preamble.
  • No AI-generated filler. We can tell, and it will be rejected without a second review.
  • One relevant, non-spammy outbound link to your own site is welcome in the author bio.
  • We edit for clarity and house style, and we may add internal links. Facts are never changed without asking you.

How to pitch

  1. Read three existing posts on the unit conversion blog so you can see the depth and tone we publish at.
  2. Check the topic is not already covered — the HTML sitemap lists every page on the site.
  3. Email gemprogrammersgp@gmail.com with your title, a three-line outline, and two published samples.
  4. We reply within about five working days, either way.

Context

Where your article would sit

Every guest post links to at least one calculator and two related guides, so it arrives connected rather than orphaned.

Currently 15 guides published across five categories — browse them all.

Guest posting questions

Do you accept guest posts on unit conversion?

Yes. We publish expert guest posts on measurement standards, unit conversion, surveying, aviation and construction measurement. Pitches must be 1,000+ words, original, and sourced to primary standards rather than other blogs. Email your topic and outline before writing the full draft.

How do I pitch an article?

Email gemprogrammersgp@gmail.com with your proposed title, a three-line outline, and a link to two published samples. We reply to every pitch within roughly five working days. Please pitch before writing — it saves you drafting something we have already covered.

Do you pay for guest posts?

We do not pay for guest contributions. What you get is a permanent byline with a Person schema entry linking to your profiles, one contextual outbound link in your bio, and placement on a site built specifically to be cited by search engines and AI answer engines.

What topics do you reject?

Anything unrelated to measurement or conversion, thin rewrites of existing pages, purely promotional content, and city-to-city distance topics — those read 'ft' as Fort Lauderdale rather than feet, and are a different subject entirely.

Will I get a byline and author link?

Yes. Every published contributor gets a visible byline, a short bio, and a Person entry in the page's structured data with sameAs links to your profiles. That is what makes the credit resolvable by search engines rather than decorative.
