How do I post an article, blog entry, or event?

Click on "Create Content" in your myTools Menu. Then select the appropriate content type.

Content Types

When you are ready to share your content with the site, you must first decide which content type to use: article, blog, event listing or forum topic.

Articles are best suited for an interview or a story. You can insert an image that corresponds to your article, create a subtitle, and offer any relevant disclosures (for example, if you write a rave review of the restaurant your brother owns, you owe it to the community to disclose that). Articles show up at the top of the homepage, and the top of all the tag pages.

Blog posts are great for when you want write a quick review, share your opinion, or link to another page and add your commentary. You can link to images hosted elsewhere in blog posts.

Forum topics are best suited to asking questions of the Lookabootye community, short announcements, and technical help. If you think you've encountered a bug or an error, the forums are the place to report it and get help.

Event listings are, surprisingly enough, for events! Be sure to fill out the complete address and details of your event so it can be featured correctly. Event listings are accessed from the "What's On" calendar and tag pages, so be sure to add helpful tags.

You maintain ownership and control of all your content, so don't be afraid to start sharing!
