A Brief Tutorial for Contrbutors

Hey,
Welcome to the City Ideal Project.

This is a brief tutorial for contributors about how to use this blog.

Posting
You have to first accept the invitation sent to the e-mail to join the City Ideal blog.
After you have chosen a blogID and a password, you can pretty much add by going to Post and writing stuff down.

The Title Field is the title of that post, in this case "A Brief Tutorial for Contributors" is the title.
The Link Feild is the link that the title will follow. Be Sure to Include the Whole Link Address! Including http:// or else there will be trouble.
Publishing posts will mean that it will be accessible to everyone who sees this site.
Saving a Draft means that it will not be seen on the blog page, and only accessible to you and the Host.
Comments and Backlinks Parameters are pretty much set as they ought to be.

Links
If you want to include a hyperlink in your post, it should look like this:
<a href="http://cityideal.blogspot.com" target="sl" title="City Ideal Project">City Ideal Project</a>
If you do this correctly, it will look like this City Ideal Project in the blog body.
href="link" -> where link is the entire link Including http:// that you want to link to.
target="new" -> where new is the page that this link will open into (if you put a target, a new page will open - generally a good things)
title="blurb" -> Where the blurb is shown in the yellow box when you hover your mouse icon over the link.
The portion between the <a> and the </a> is what will show up as the link name on your post, in this case Smart League Blog

Labels
As you may have noticed, there are some labels on the sidebar. These categories are added during contribution writing. If we keep them clean and clear, they can be very useful. If we don't - they will be messy and gross.

If you want to add a link to the sidebar, or you have any other questions simply email me at thesmaj@gmail.com.

=)
