POSTING HELP

ENTERING THE TITLE

Please keep your article title short and to the point. This text will become the link text pointing users to your content. Titles that are too long will be edited down to size.

PUBLISHING PREFERENCES

All content posts will be considered for publication in the printed editions of Immanence Magazine unless you select the "I do not wish this item to appear in the printed editions of Immanence Magazine" option in the Publishing Preferences menu.
If it is urgent that your content be published in the impending edition of Immanence Magazine, please select the second menu option.

SELECTING THE DEPARTMENT

Under the "Vocabularies" menu box, select where you want your article/letter filed by using the "Department" drop-down menu. THIS IS IMPORTANT since filing your article in the wrong department will make it hard for people to find. Send us an email to request additional departments to be added to this list in the future.

CREDITING THE AUTHOR

Please keep spelling consistent to allow accurate searching of all works by same authors.

FORMATTING YOUR TEXT

Posts are all HTML based, therefore any HTML formating should work fine. For those new to HTML, here are a few easy formating techniques:

To create italics:

Type <em> before, and </em> after the words to be displayed in italics.

ie.
To get this result: "Subscribe to Immanence Magaine!"
Type: Subscribe to <em>Immanence Magazine!</em>

To create bold text

Type <strong> before, and </strong> after the words to be displayed in bold.

ie.
To get this result: "Sometimes I want bold text in my article."
Type: Sometimes I want <em>bold text</em> in my article.

To create bold headlines

Several different sizes of bold headlines can be formated by using the following tags:

<h1>Headline Text Here </h1> (to get the largest headline)
<h2>Headline Text Here </h2> (to get the second largest headline)
<h3>Headline Text Here </h3> (to get the third largest headline)

Each of the main headings on this page were made with <h1> tags.

*Note that all headlines using <h1>,<h2>,<h3>, etc will place the enclosed text on its own line.



ADDING IMAGES

Attach a file from your computer using the "File Attachments" menu at the bottom of the "Post Your Content" page.
Then copy and paste the following text at the point where you'd like the uploaded image to appear in your article.

<STYLE type="text/css">
IMG { float: left }
BODY, P, IMG { margin: 1em }
</STYLE>
<img src="/sites/default/files/submissions/YOUR_IMAGE_NAME.jpg">

Your article text will flow around the image to the right. Make sure you replace "YOUR_IMAGE_NAME.jpg" with the name of the file you selected to upload.

CREATING A TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you are posting a long article or story with different sections or chapters, you can easily add a table of contents at the top of the page to help readers navigate to points of interest.

To Create a Table of Contents

Make sure that the sections you want labeled as chapters have headings enclosed in <h1>, <h2> or <h3> tags. see "To Create Bold Headlines" above.
At the top of the Body text (above all your text), type: <!--tableofcontents-->
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Input Format is set to "Filtered HTML".
That's it, you now have a table of contents based on heading titles.


FYI the table of contents at the top of this page was created this way.
