Step 2 - Add your Blog post

Now all you need to do is let the creative juices flow. A few tips on some of the items you might see on this page :

  • Title
    • As it sounds, this is the title for your piece
  • Body
    • This is the body of work, where you lay it all out
    • You can include images, links, and format your work how you like
    • You can even paste from Word if you like although you may have to reformat it once you do
  • Media / Image
    • You can upload a featured image for this piece
    • This will appear when a user sees the article in any list page and when they read the article itself
  • Vocabularies / Topics
    • Here you can define where in our list of defined topics your piece belongs
    • It can belong in more than one

Once you are happy with what you have created you can save it and move to the next step.

Step 3 - Tag your Blog post

After saving your work you will be instructed to select tags that describe your content. We will suggest some for you but you have the freedom to select from the suggested tags and also include your own.

As you type in your own tags you might see other suggestions pop up as you type. These are tags that other people have used. It is a good idea to keep tags similar so we can relate conten to one another.

Step 4 - Wait for your content to be approved

At this time all submitted content will go in to an approval queue prior to being published on the web. Don't worry, you will be notified as soon as it has been published to First 5000.

Thank you
