You can use the editor to add your news/articles etc. and save them for publication by editors, you can also re-edit them prior to submitting. After submitting you cannot re-edit them.

The editor is quite easy to use but there are a few simple steps to follow.

Title

• Title - no more than 60 characters; most search engines ignore the rest. News lead-in 'Introduction' keywords must be used in the title, so think carefully.

Now the fun part

• News lead-in 'Introduction' - is one or two short paragraphs about the article, news, whatever; make it interesting enough for people to want to read the item. Use at least two main keywords in the first paragraph, and more in the second if possible. The reason for this is search engines look for keyword relevance in about the top third of the page. Then place your mouse cursor at the end of the lead-in and click on the 'Read more' button below.

• Type the main content including three or four of each of the main keywords throughout.

• For long articles there is a 'PAGEBREAK' button, this will create an article index so that readers can navigate the article.

Meta Data is Most Important

• Enter the article meta keywords.
• Enter the meta description - no more than 150 characters.
• Upload image/s.
  Note: the first time you upload an image, a personal image folder is automatically created for you. For subsequent login's and further uploads you will immediately see your own image folder.
  
  Images: No more than 350 pixels wide and in jpeg, gif or png format.

Finally

Hit the save button. Your submitted article will be reviewed by staff prior to publication.
