Choose the section in which your article will appear.
Enter the headline for the story.
Enter a subhead to appear directly under the headline.
Enter text that will serve as a lead sentence for the article (or, simply paste the headline in this space). If your templates provide for them, leads can be used as hyperlinks to articles.
Enter or paste an abstract for the article. You can enter simple text using the default text editor. However, if you wish to enter the abstract using HTML, click the HTML editor button.
Click the Summary button to obtain a TME-generated summary that you can use for your abstract.
Enter the byline of the author of the story.
Enter the source of the story. For example, if the story first appeared in the "Citizens on Fire" blog, you would enter that information.
The credit is not always the same as the source. For example, if the story was first told on a news interview, then the credits go to the station that aired the story. However, the interview may subsequently been printed up in The Enquirer newspaper, then that publication is the source of the story.
Enter a headline for the first page of your article. Page headlines usually appear at the top of each page.
The pages of an article, like chapters of a book, are used to "chunk" a large text into topics. If your article is fairly short, only one page is needed. There is no set word count for article pages. If the text spans more than one page, the page headline will often (depending on template layout) be listed as links on the first page of the published article.
Enter the text of the first page of the article. By default, one can enter text in the space provided in plain text format.
You can enter the page content in HTML if you wish to include tables or other formatting. To do so, click the HTML icon to open the HTML Source editor window. When you are done, click Update to return to the Content page.
To add an additional page, click Add page after and repeat from Step 10. Repeat until you have entered the complete text of the article.
When you are done, select Save or Check-in (according to your selected lock mode) to save your changes.
