Writing Articles

[Smoky]

Hi Foks,

I am in the process of sending current link-partners an article which I have written to include on their website or in their newsletter.

Here is my question. I have sent this article (only to some at this stage) via email using some html tags such as
at the end of paragraphs and included 2 links to articles in the text as well as 2 links at the end in the text box.

I have tested my instruction in the email first on my own site and pasting the text (including the html code in the body of the text) works well.

If I don't include the html code, when I paste the article as source code, I get a totally unformatted block of text and the links in the text box are not active... how should such articles be formated in the email? and how do the links (especially the ones in the text box at the bottom) become active? Should the email text be pasted as source code or should straight into the WYSIWIG page (I'm using netscape communicator on an old G3 Mac - no I'm not walking around with a walking stick - yet).

I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for other webmasters to use the article... Anyone got any idea?

Cheers
Smoky

If you have webmaster related articles, I would be glad to publish them on my sites.

Thanks.

Hi,

Save the article as a Text (.TXT) file without any HTML. Then paste the article into the body of your e-mail (prefered) or send the article as an attachment. The webmaster will need to activate the links and add any needed HTML.

This is the most common way this is done, and the easiest way to add the article to a website.

I've done this with dozens of my article without any problems.

Have Fun,
Jeff

Put the article up on a web page and provide the URL to your prospective partners. They can use "View Source" to copy (then edit) the HTML code onto their sites.
