– To publish something in the sections of the site or to write in the topics of the „Forum”, necessarily need to register (in the system "uID") or to enter on the website using your profile from a social network.
– In the section "Publisher" there are two windows for placing texts:
1. In the first window need to place a short description of text (or just place the first few phrases of text). Do not forget here in the first window to place an image, even one funny or pure symbolic, philosophical, but related to your text (to attract attention, when publication will appear on the main page of the site and in the section "Publisher").
Please, in the first window do not place more than one image!!! It is desirable that in the first window to put the image before the text.
2. Also, in the second window already place your whole (entire, all) text.
The maximum number of images in publication is a total of 50 (for one photo album is normal).
– By the way, to the texts for the "Blog" also place at least one image (one image before the text and other already within the text). But it is desirable to place more pictures, so the text to be attractive and interesting. :)
– To place images in your new article, there are two choices (two options):
1. Placing of the image using a link (copy & paste method), which denotes the placement of the image on any site or in a personalized web location for storing images and other files.
Attention! –The image must be a maximum of 675px and 72 dpi in JPG format. And not greater than 1 megabyte, but desirable to 200kb. But, if the image is too large, then the appeared images must be reduced manually, until the maximum 675px in-editor – for to look good and not come out from the site borders. :)
2. The most efficient method: below article find the option "Images [?]:".On his right side is the button "Search" (rus. - Обзор). Click on this button and search in your PC (or mobile) the required image, select it, then click "Open" (rus. - Открыть). On the right side of the button "Search" will appear a short code of the image, something like "$ IMAGE1 $". With the simple method “Copy & paste” put this code into any place of your article.
Remember, please: for this second option is strongly recommended maximum size of image: 675px in 72 dpi, and not greater than 1mb.
