Posting News

[stewie]

How do i post news?? is there a post limit before i can post news, or do i need to earn news posting privleges??

1) find news you think is worth posting
2) use the zgeek search facility to ensure it hasnt been already posted. also look in the news awaiting review sub-forum
3) if okay to post, click big black button on front page that says "INPUT NEWS"
4) copy/paste some text from the story, put a header into the title bit and copy/paste the url from the address line into the bottom of your story
5) click "preview post" to preview it for goodness.
6) when okay to submit, click "submit post"
7) wait for it to be checked and to appear on front page
