Headline: The headline is the title
for each story. Keep it descriptive, yet short.
Date: Enter the date for which you would
like the story to be published. This is the date that the story will both go
live on the website and will be sent out via the automatic emailing
system.
E-mail: Do you want this story to be sent
out to those who are subscribed to the newsletter or to any of the theme areas
below? If so, check yes. Otherwise the story will appear on the website but
will not be sent via email.
Newsletter: This is the newsletter
for your story. Not all stories have to be included in a newsletter. You only
have access to post to newsletters to which you've been designated as a
writer. You can be a writer for multiple newsletters, though any one story
can only belong to a single newsletter.
Newsletter Order: This specifies
the order in which stories are to appear within a newsletter. Stories are
shown in increasing order starting at 1.
Extension Theme: If you want your story
to be listed in any of the Extension Theme areas on the intranet site, check the
corresponding box for that theme. The story will show up on searches for that
theme, as well as on the front page of the site for that theme for a limited
time. Please make sure that you are posting to the appropriate categories when
selecting these theme areas. Authors that are found to post into categories
that are not appropriate for the story repeatedly may have a peer review
placed on their account. Stories would be posted to the newsletter then per
normal, but would have to be authorized in order to be listed under a theme
area.
Internet Topic: At a future point in
time, any newsletter stories that are applicable to an outside audience may be
displayed automatically on the State Extension website. To display these
there, make sure you check one of these Internet Extension Topics. If you do
not wish your story to be posted outside of the Intranet, leave these boxes
unchecked.
Additional Keywords: Keywords help the
search engine find a particular story. It is encouraged that with every story
you include at least 3 keywords or phrases, separated by commas. To help you
think of what these keywords should be, ask yourself what you would search for
in order to find this story. It is usually better to have a few to many
keywords than to not have enough.
Intro: The intro is the lead in for your
story. This is displayed on the archive page if the long format is used, giving
a short description of what the user will find in that story. It is also used
for people subscribing to email digests and the newsfeeds. The intro should
be placed at the beginning of the content section in addition to listed
here.
Content: The content of the story is
exactly that, the main content of the story. The graphical editor provides you
with an easy way to format your text as well as include lists, tables and images
(in .gif or .jpg format) with your stories. To find out what each button does,
simply hover the mouse over the button and the button's name should appear. In
short though, all the controls for tables and images are on the left toolbar, and
all text formatting is on top.
If you want to have even greater control over how your text is formatted and
are familiar with html, you can select the Html button at the lower right corner
of the editor to view and edit the html code directly.
Sources: Stories may have sources
associated with where the information came from. This is not needed, though may
be added information for some stories. If you wish to include additional contact
information, add someone as a source.
Files: Files are for uploading attachments
that you want included with your story. These could be (but are not limited
to): .pdf, .mp3, .doc, .ppt, etc. Any images we wish to include in our file should be
uploaded using the graphical editor in the content section of this
form.
