Hello all news posters,
There are 2 ways to post news on EHW, we will cover the two options below:
Posting news traditionally
1. When posting a news article please be sure to use the news source prefix drop down to select an appropriate news source, if you cannot find the right one then please add the source in your thread title. For this example we will use TechRadar:
[TECHRADAR]*Insert Thread Title*
Where possible the thread title should be the same as the source article, please do not make up your own as this can alter the context of the article. You can quote a short excerpt of the news source so people can get a preview, but be sure to link the source underneath. See an example below
Source
Using the ''Post Link" Feature
2. Use the ''Post Link'' feature in the editor, this will insert the news article into the editor with a link to the source for you while quoting some of the news title and allowing you to select an image taken from the article. See the image process to do this below.
Clink on the ''Post Link'' button as indicated by the red box, this will open a link insertion field, again as indicated by the red box. Paste your link in here and click ''Add Link''
Your added link will now look like the below, nice right ? From here you can select which thumbnail is displayed using the left and right arrows as indicated as well as edit the quote of the article you want shown by clicking the indicated pencil icon.
Lastly, Just add your comment on the new article in the text editor and click on the ''Post'' button and you are done !
