How to Submit A Blog Post

How to Submit A Blog Post

This is a "How-to" example demonstration of how members of the incubator.org platform are able to use the Blog App to publish content into the incubator.org online community website platform.

Step 1: Access the Blog Submission Interface

  1. Log in with your Registered User account.
  2. Navigate to the menu item labeled “Submit Post” (link in the Main Menu > Applications > Blogs > sub menu. *Note: if you don't see this, it's because you're not logged in.)   
  3. This opens the Blog frontend submission form.

Step 2: Create a New Blog Article

  1. Upload your Cover Art at the top. 
  2. Enter your Article Title in the title field.
  3. Write your content in the editor box (sometimes referred to as WYSIWYG Editor & if you don't know what that is see the citation at the bottom of this article)
    - You can format text using bold, italics, bullet lists, headings, and more.
  4. Adding Intro Text content:  THIS TEXT IS BEING INPUT INTO THE TOP, as intro text "above the fold" content, in order for the Read More to appear on the Member Blogs frontpage.
  5. Add Main Text content: Then, continue to add your "below the fold" main content BELOW the Read More (also sometimes referred to as the Landing Page for that blog article). 

Step 3: Insert an Inline Image into Your Blog

📸 Option A: Upload Image via Editor

  1. Click inside the editor where you want the image to appear.
  2. Click the “Image” icon (looks like a mountain/photo).
  3. In the pop-up:
    - Click “Browse” or “Upload” to select a file from your device.
  4. Once uploaded, select the image file.
  5. Fill in:
    - Image Description (alt text)

    - Alignment (left, right, center)
  6. Click Insert.

📸 Option B: Upload via Media Manager, then Insert

  1. Click the “Media” button below the editor.
  2. Upload your image to the appropriate folder (e.g., /images/blogs/).
  3. Copy the image URL or select it to insert.
  4. In the editor, use the “Image” icon, then paste the full image URL or browse to it.

Step 4: Add Meta Information and Tags
