Help
There have been a few comments from people asking how to post an article, so I will explain it here…
——————-
- In order to write any articles, you must first register with ArcheryTalk Blogs & Articles. You can either click on the “Join Now” link on the top of the page, or click on the “register” on the home page of the site (its located toward the bottom of the links under “USERS”).
- The register page will ask you for a user name and an email address. Once you click register, an email will be sent to you that will have your password to get into the site.
- The email that was sent to you will have a link to the login page. Click the link, then type in your user name and the password that was given to you.
- After you have logged in, you will now see what is called the “Dashboard”. This area is where you will be able to write articles. On the ArcheryTalk Blogs & Articles page, you will get back to this area by clicking on “site admin” located just under the “USERS” link on the front page or by clicking the “Write” link at the top of the site.
- When you are in the “Dashboard”, to write a new article for the site, click on “Add New” under the Post section on the right of the screen.
- Now you can start writing your article. Give it a Title, and don’t forget to type in some tags so that users can find your article when you search for topics (example: hunting, photography, tree stand, good times). Once you have typed in some tags, choose the categories which your article falls under (located in the next box under “Tags”).
- You can publish your article right away buy hitting the “Publish” button in the grey box on the right, or you can save a draft of it so that you can continue working on it later (handy when your writing lengthy articles).
- Once you hit “Publish” you will see a message at the top that says, “Your post has been saved.” When you click on “View Post” it will take you to the ArcheryTalk Articles & Blogs website and will show you your newly published article.
- At anytime in the Dashboard, you can click on “View Site” located next to the ArcheryTalk Articles & Blogs title to go to the main website.

Hopefully This Helps,

How do we attach a video?
Or, if we attach one how do we view it?
I’ve tried attaching a video to my post about my daughter and I setting up turkey blind and about my poor mans turkey target.
I am missing something.
Either I did not post them right, or can not figure out how to view them.
Thanks

My apologies, I figured it out.
Upload the file, then grab the URL and link it back into the post.
The “Insert into Post” option does not seem to be working as far as I can tell though.
Figured out a work around.
Please feel free to delete these two comments.

I have had several people email me stating that they tried to vote for my article, but it never did record it. I was wondering what might be wrong?

The rating system has been fixed. It wasn’t working in Internet Explorer. That was my bad, I should have tested it in other browsers before making it live. Tell all those people that the ratings work now! 🙂
Thanks.

I had 3 or 4 votes and now there gone. I’m about to just throw in the towel with the ratings.
KurtD on 07 May 2008 at 1:19 pm #
Your votes were probably from the first rating system I put up, which didn’t work in Internet Explorer on a lot of machines, So I was forced to change it. I’m sorry you lost ratings, but there wasn’t much I could do about it.

That’s alright, no hard feelings. I think the addition of this site is great, bound to be some bumps in the road though. Keep up the good work!

I have posted a few responses to members asking for advice, but they have been held up waiting on moderator approval. Any idea what the deal is with that? My messages have been held up for like 3 days!
Thanks!

I apologize for not approving them sooner, and will do my best to check on them more often.

Had a quick question on terms of use specifically when blogging here. I did not sign a terms of use so I am assuming I keep full ownership of my articles and it may not be reproduced without my permission?
I seen you had a blog contest as well and see those rules give up the ownership of the article if you enter it, which that is understandable. Just wanted a clarification. I checked the forums and could not find anything on it. Thanks for reading.

“Hello” Kurt!
I just published a Bowhunting poem here, and wasn’t sure about the categorie. I checked off three different ones, Bowhunting, General Archery, and Hunting stories. If it is only supposed to be in one..or is in a wrong categorie could you correct it for me please ?
“Thank You”.
