How to post a Feature article?

Easy. Just add the tag ‘feature’ to the tag-list. But only add it if the article should really be the feature article on the front page.

To add a feature image, put the address of the image in the ‘Feature Image’ box below your post.

How to post a video

Export your video from Premiere via the menu:

• -> File > Export > Adobe Media Encoder
• On the right side of the new dialog window, choose as the format: ‘Adobe Flash Video’
• Below that, Choose preset: ‘NTSC source to 512kbps’

• Press the yellow ‘Upload’ button
• Fill in the form
• Press ‘Upload Video’
• Press ‘Browse’

• Create a new Post in the editor
• Then, in the ‘Video’ box below your posting, add this:
  http://www.youtube.com/v/

A little bit about Html

This is a text. It’s coded in html, or Hyper Text Markup Language. It’s quite easy to understand. It uses so called Tags (other tags than the ones you add to your postings). This is a tag: <b>

And this: <img src=”http://farm1.static.flickr.com/150/385720602_2bd4f58560_t.jpg”>
