By Bryan Feller. The purpose of this post is to provide guidelines for anyone who authors a post on this website. It is my hope that as authors follow these guidelines, the site will maintain a high standard of excellence many years into the future.

Creating a New Post

1. Immediately name your post using capital letters for each word (except for conjunctions or prepositions) and lower case letters for the rest. Example: “This is the Title of My Article”.
2. Add a feature image (in the bottom right of the Admin screen on the post). This image should be rectangular in shape. The image should be at last 500 pix wide and more more than 1000 pix wide.
3. Add all appropriate categories.
4. Add as many tags as you can to make the article searchable.
5. Make sure all events are categorized as events.

Formatting

1. Start each post with “By Author Name.” in bold.
2. If you paste content into your post from Word, use the past from Word tool in the toolbar. This strips away bad formatting.
3. After a new lines, insert a “More” tag using the WordPress format controls.
4. Use H1 , H2, and H3 headers to break up the content, use plain text for everything else.
5. NEVER USE ALL CAPS!
6. Do not underline.
7. Do not indent.
8. Do not double space between sentences.
9. Do not center text.

Review and Correct Old Posts

1. Correct all of the dates on old posts.
2. Add ALL appropriate categories – remove all posts from “uncategorized”.
3. Clean up categories.
4. Clean up tags.
