Add an article

To add a new article click on the Add button. Enter the title of the article the author that is writing it. The Release Date and Release Time are set up to show the current date and time, but if you want to change that, you are more than welcome.

Below the Relase Time, there is an option to turn on Timestamp Priority Period. This is useful if you have RSS articles populating your site, and you are writing an article. If you don't have Timestamp Priority Period turned on, your article will get bumped off your Top Articles within a matter of minutes. If you turn on Timestamp Priority Period for a certain article, that article will remain in your Top Articles for however long you set the Timestamp Priority Period. You can set this by going under SETTINGS and then clicking on Manage Article Settings. Below the Timestamp Priority Period, there is a text field for putting Article Tags. This is a feature that will be used in future versions of NewsPortal.



The Intro of your article is a small paragraph of text that appears on the section page that it is related to. The intro does not show up when you actually click on an article to view it.
