6. EDITING SUGGESTIONS

 

Navigate to your article and click Edit on the menu on the right of the page. Edit your article with these guidelines in mind: 

• Use short sentences
• Paragraphs should be only 1 to 3 sentences
• Use many headings to incite the reader to read your next paragraph
• USE ALL CAPS AND BOLD FOR HEADINGS and bold the text by highlighting it and clicking on 
• Use Italics for quotations by highlighting the text and clicking on 
• Do not use underline
• Use bullets and numbered lists 
• If you want to undo a change, click in the undo button 

Click on the icons instead of using keyboard commands (which your browser WILL misinterpret).

 

In general, it is best not to cut and past the text... just type it directly into our system. If you must cut and paste do it from a document saved as .txt. Microsoft Word documents tend to mess up the formatting of your article. 

When you are done, describe the change in the box at the bottom. If the changes are only editorial, check the Minor Edit box. 

 

Click Save. If your article has a page exclusively for Register Members, edit it too.
