How to create a blog article on the homepage

Note:

•    Always upload your image(s) to our webserver – never link to an external site, or a forum attachment!
•    Resize your images to a reasonable resolution (max. 1280x720 pixel should be enough)
•    Only use jpg images. Make sure that you use a “medium” quality setting when you save them, to keep the filesize at a sane value.

Create clickable Thumbnail:

1. Click at the “Insert/Edit Image” Button in the Editor
2. Navigate to the “blogs” folder
3. Use the    “New Folder” Button to create a folder. Use your forum nickname as folder name.
   It is up to you if you want to create subfolders (i.e. one folder per blog article) or not.
4. Press the   “upload” Button
5. Use the “add” button to upload one or multiple images. Thumbnails will be automatically created and stored inside a “thumbnails” subfolder.
6. Switch to the “Popup” tab
7. Click at the “Enable” checkbox
8. Click at the Image you want to insert and answer the “Confirm” dialog with “yes”
9. Now press the “insert” button and you have your image as clickable thumbnail inside your article
10. To add more images, simply click at the “Insert/Edit Image” Button in the Editor again

Split the article (Read More Link):

If you are writing a very long blog Article, then please insert a “read more”.  Thus, only the initial synopsis displays on the index/history of Blogs. To do so, click at the location in your text where you want to insert the “read more”. Then press the related button   in the editor.

Discussion Link:

If you have your own subforum in the Extensions section of the forum, then you might want to create a thread there where users can discuss/comment your blog article.

To do so you:

1. Create a thread inside your forum.
2. The thread link contains a number at the end. i.e. http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/co...beta-released-95825/
3. Take the number 95825, and insert it like this at the end of your article {jfusion_discuss 95825}
