Who can submit news articles?

In order to submit either type of article, you must be logged in.

Both site members and Project Members can submit a 'News and Views' article.

Only Project Members can submit a Project News article, and only about the project(s) they are involved in.

See FAQ: What is a Project Member, and how do I become one?

How?

Both article types

In both cases, once logged in you will see a 'User Menu' in this site's right sidebar.

Click on 'Create Content', and then select News and Views or Project News (if available).

Both article types have a title and a main text ("Body"). The main text window provides basic formatting functions: bold, italic, numbered and bullet lists, and insert/remove hyperlink.

News and Views articles only

Project News articles allow you to specify a Location for the article. This is optional, and will be used to add a geographic interface to News and Views (under development).

Project News articles only

Under the Title, this form lists the Edulink project(s) you are linked to - please select one.

Project News articles also allow you to (optionally) upload one image, or use one of the images in the site's image gallery (gallery function currently under development).

To upload an image, simply click on Choose File, select the image on your computer, and click on Upload. A thumbnail will then be displayed, alongside a Remove button, if you change your mind.

If the image is approved, it will appear at the top of your article.

What happens next?

When you click 'Save', the article is submitted to the Site Editor, who moderates and publishes it.

All articles will appear on your Public Profile. If the article is suitable, it will appear on the Home Page.

All Project News articles will also appear on the Project Description, and the appropriate Theme menus (left).
