Adding news, articles and other material to our site is really easy! It’s just the same as writing messages on the forum. Try it out and you’ll see.
If you have any questions, be sure to Mail to us, and we’ll definitely answer!
There are 2 ways to add news, reviews and interviews to our site:
1) Automatic (you’ll need to Register on our site);
2) Manual (you’ll Send us a letter with the news or article and we’ll add it to our site manually).
The first way is preferred, as it is easier and faster. Let’s describe in detail.
To Register, you’ll have to fill in the gaps Name and E-Mail. After you register, you’ll receive a letter with your password via e-mail. Using your Name and the password, you Go to the Control Panel, there you choose the “Write” section, and a window appears, just like it does on the forum. You’ll write the title and the body of the article or news. You can also copy your text from html, selecting text holding left mouse button and inserting it into the message box. All the tags (like italics, links and images) will be added to the message automatically!
When the message is ready, you’ll just have to pick the category for your Message (on the right: News, Articles, Interviews, Reviews) and then press the “Add Message” button.
If you prefer to add news Manually, then the form is quite the same, just send it to our E-Mail and we’ll add the article, mentioning your name!
Some aspects:
1) We write your name above the texts of an article or news you’ve sent. Which means your help in development of our site will definitely be pointed out.
2) After the registration you’ll be able to write new messages, but the first 3 messages will only be published after the moderators have looked them through (spam protection).
3) After you write 3 messages to us, E-Mail to us, and we’ll promote you to the “Authors” status. It will grant you the possibility to publish your news or reviews on the site without having to wait for the moderators to check them.
Recommendations on writing a message:
1) The text should be easy to read, you’d better not make it all in bold or italic.
2) It’s good to add a link to the source, which should be placed at the end of the message (in ordinary font and colour, and write it ONCE, except for links to multimedia).
3) When you write news (not other categories), you should also add the data as “year.month.day - ” (like, “2007.12.10 - News’ Name).
4) If you’ve written the review or translated the article to Russian by yourself, be sure to mention it at the beginning of the message.
