Default TUTORIAL: Creating a solid news post. (Get listed on the front page!)

Our new system gives us the option to cover a lot more content and make it available to a lot of people (around 12,000/day.) without them having to search around the site to find it.

Post title suggestions

When you title your post make it as accurate as possible. Google suggests titling posts between 7 and 11 words.

For example: 2009 Big Ten (Big 10) Wrestling Tournament Preview & Forecast

Post details suggestions

When you are the first to release a thread on a tournament or a make major tournament update (Pre-seeds, brackets, each round) be sure to include the new information in the title as well as the basic tournament's title.

For example: 2009 Big Ten (Big 10) Wrestling Tournament - Day 1 Results & Brackets


How to enhance your posts

Adding Images (aligned to the right or left of the text)

This system is pretty simple to use. When you want an image to appear to the right you use 'ir' tags, when you want it to appear left you use 'il' tags. i = image, r = right, l = left.

To align an image to the right of text:


PHP Code:
[ir=http://www.themat.com/images/kidbiomugs/135_Cadet_FS_Destin_McCauley.jpg]Image Right Title[/ir] 


To align an image to the left of text:


PHP Code:
[il=http://www.themat.com/images/kidbiomugs/135_Cadet_FS_Destin_McCauley.jpg]Image Left Title[/il] 
Try it out & PM one of the Mods to set the post to the front.

** If you' like to be a news moderator (giving you the ability to add news to the front page) PM me..

---------

Why spend the time on my posts? TWT is a community managed, open network of wrestlers who are improving the sport of wrestling through the use of technology never before available. When you take the time to properly describe your posts you make the news more readily available to so many more people it is virtually indescribable. On top of that you make management easier on our staff (we don't need to do the image adding, formatting, etc) and we can direct our resources elsewhere.

As you can see in the first example, the post does not need to be a new thread- we can pull details from any post.

Examples:
