Some of the new writers may have a hard time knowing what does what when they login to the Coranto interface.
This interface will allow you to post articles almost anywhere on
The Geekery. You still need to know some HTML in order to make tables and what not, as well as adding effects to text such as bold and an underline. I'm sure you all know how to do the basics. Afterall, these are The Geek Forums.
First thing's first. Posting news. In order to do so, login
here using your username and password provided to you via your PM box. TheJudge should be getting those out to you within the next few hours. I also advise you to change your password using the "User Info" link on the main screen. Click on "Submit News". In order to submit sutff, you're going to need to know what Category to post it to:
