Guideline on how to write an article on NBR
Here are some tips for writing articles on NBR.Here appears the subtitle that will also be used to generate the description META tag (i.e. the text to be found on the search engines)
To begin: choose a striking/catchy visual
After entering a title and a subtitle, it is mandatory to add a presentation image (as above) to grab the reader's attention. This image should reflect the content of your article.
To that end, click on the "upload image" button, located at the top of the form, to add the image of your choice.
- Frame size: 900 x 450 px
- Format : jpeg ou png
- Weight : 500ko maxi
This image will be shown at the top of the article (in full-page), like the one above.
Use a "Titre 2" for any new paragraph
All paragraph titles must be in "Titre 2" format.
To that end, mark/highlight the text requested and click on "Normal" > "Titre 2":
The text will be formatted while publishing, thanks to a CSS style sheet.
Title tags allowed are Titre 2 and Titre 3 only. You can use them several times each.
Drafting instructions
Title and subtitles
Choose short and explicit titles. Please see above an example of Title 3.
Whether for titles or elsewhere in the article, there is no need to change the size of the text: everything is managed by the CSS style sheet. This enables to maintain an homogeneity between articles.
Content
You are totally free to write as you want!
