It couldn't be easier. However, there are a couple of steps you need to follow to insure your article is set up properly. Simply follow the steps below.
Creating an Article:
- Create your article in whatever text editor you typically use, like Microsoft Word.
- Copy the entire article.
- Paste it into Notepad. This is a program you likely haven't used. It comes bundled with all Microsoft products. You can find it in the programs menu on your computer. Unfortunately, this is a required step, because Microsoft Word adds a huge amount of extraneous data to a document. Enough that it can dramatically slow down and, in some cases, "redesign" a website.
- Copy your article from Notepad.
Now you're ready to submit your article to the Club's website.
Submitting an Article:
- You will need to have set up an account on the site.
- Login. Doing so will access the "members" site. You will see a new menu - "Members Menu" in the left column.
- Click the "Submit an Article" link. This will open a new window with three (3) sections: Editor, Publishing and Metadata. You only need be concerned with the "Editor" secton.
- Enter a title for your article.
- Paste the information from Notepad directly in the window.
- Click Save.
- You're done.
You will be returned to the "members" site. There will be a notice posted at the top of the page letting you know that your article has been received and will be "...reviewed before being posted to the site." This is a security and administrative measure.
