News Posting Guidelines

• NEW – ARTICLES
  Please don’t just post an image or a video. Write a description so readers can get an insight before watching the video as well as understand the idea and reason for the post.

Check that the article does not already exist on the site. This can be searched by typing keywords from the title in the search box since the article may be archived. Recent news can be checked as well.

Choose the title for your article carefully. Make sure it is descriptive and easy to understand for all readers

Avoid complex terms or abbreviations so that others not familiar with the terms can understand your message.

Always include the source at the bottom of every post you make.

Try not to post very long articles. This will take too much room on the page. Instead try to summarize and shorten the article as best you can.

• FEATURED ARTICLES
  Mark very important articles with the featured category. Only Put featured articles on the Flash Slider.

• IMAGES
  The ideal width for an image on a post is 600 pixles in width and 400 in height. Slightly larger is acceptable.  If you have an image wider than 650px, remove the height html tag and set the width html tag to 650px. Make sure it is no smaller than 600×400. If this is the case, download the image and modify it to be 600×400. If stretching origional image, constrain proportions please. Also add a thumnailimg in Custom Field (can be same or different smaller image from articleimg) to ad to the Featured Content timeline on the Featured Content Gallery.

• SIDEBAR IMAGES
  The max width for a sidebar image is 230px. If you have an image wider than 230px, remove the height html tag and set the width html tag to 230px.
