Get Your Article Featured On The =ADK= Homepage!
We've made some changes to the homepage if you haven't seen them and with that, it also makes it a little easier for all of you to write articles that will be featured on our home page! Below will be some information about the best method of laying out the article and some things that are needed.
First Things First:
1. Visit the =ADK= Homepage and scroll down towards the bottom of the articles and you'll see 'Add New Article' - Click on it
2. You'll then have an option to select a category, so please select the most appropriate category for your article
3. You'll then see something similar to this screen which is where you'll create the title and then start writing the article for the home page.
Article Creation
Below will be a basic layout of what you should try to recreate. Now obviously it won't be the same depending on the reason for the article, but trying to keep articles towards this layout will be best for those reading your articles.
As you can see, the text is just filler text but it would be seen as a decent sized article plus multiple images (or it could be videos as well).
Article Image
Previously with all of our articles, you needed to have Photoshop (and know how to use it) to create an article image. We've removed that so you no longer need to go through any crazy steps to get an article on the front page or you don't have to wait until there's someone who can create the article image for you. Much easier right?! So the only requirement is that you upload an image for the article, and there's a place for you to upload it at the bottom of the Add New Article page.
Once you have your article created and image uploaded, you'll just click 'save' and then the article will be approved for posting which shouldn't take long at all. You can always reach out to one of the higher leadership to let them know that it's been posted as well in case they missed the notification and they will look to approve it.
If you do have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, and if you'd like to see more categories for the articles please just respond to this topic.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN POSTING THE ARTICLE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY POST TO THE FORUM SECTION THAT IT CORRELATES WITH, SO YOU WON'T NEED TO CREATE A SEPARATE POST FOR THAT.
