====== Posting Guidlines ======

===== Preparation =====

  * Assemble your text and image files beforehand on your computer
  * Yes, an image is mandatory. The more the better!
  * Images should be landscape if possible. Portrait doesn't work very well
  * Images should be at least 500px wide. Ideally 1200-1500px
  * Cut/scale down images greater than 2000px with your favourite image editor
  * Break up text into manageable paragraphs. Big blocks don't work well
  * Think of a short but informative title for your post <10 words
  * Create a one paragraph summary your post
  * Take a look at similar posts on the website and note the categories 
    * These are shown at the bottom of the post e.g. News or Rides
  * [[login|Login]] to your account

===== Posting =====

No matter how many times you have posted it is still a good idea to follow the guidelines so nothing is forgotten.

  * Insert Title. This is used as the post address
  * In the RH sidebar at the top insert your featured image
  * Upload or select from the media library
  * Add excerpt under the now shown image
  * Lower down on the RH sidebar select one or two relevant categories
  * It's good practice to also put your featured image from the media library as the first image in your post
  * Add text and other images

NEVER PUBLISH until you have checked and viewed what it looks like. The View icon is three from the right from the PUBLISH/SAVE button.

  * Spending time on View - Edit - View will make it look better
  * Don't be afraid to save it as a draft. We can help you improve it more 
  * Sure? Then hit 'Publish' twice and it should be live unless you set it to post at a later date
  * Email the webmaster so they can check all is OK

Thank you.
