First Window

The first window is the intro paragraph or lede. The lede should be a snappy, engaging teaser to the rest of the article. It should make the reader want to read more. The lede should be short: under 30 words if possible.

Make sure you can see the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) toolbar above the editor windows.

Do not paste text directly into these windows. Do not paste text using the W (Word) button.

  • Copy the lede paragraph from your document.
  • Click on the Paste as plain text button in the toolbar.

  • A window will pop up and you can paste in your lede paragraph. Click OK.

Second Window

Go down to the second window.

  • Copy the rest of your review and again click the Paste as plain text button.
  • Paste your text into the pop up window and click OK.
Note: The reason that you are pasting text in this way is to strip out all unnecessary code or artifacts from your text.

You should now see your text cleanly formatted.

  • If there are any extra line breaks between paragraphs, just delete them.
  • Do not add bold, italic or any other character formatting.
  • For song, album and book titles, put those in standard quotation marks.

Adding Links

If applicable, you can now add links to words or phrases within the text found in either of the Editor Content windows.

  • Highlight the linked word or phrase
  • Click on the link icon (example below) in the toolbar.

Add / paste the URL into the field labeled URL.

Music News: links should be added to the first occurrence of the BAND NAME(s) and the VENUE.

Important Information:
  • for External links make sure that the Protocol field contains "http://". If it does not, use the droplist to change it.
  • for Internal links (i.e., links leading back to KDHX.org,) please use the Reverse URL Lookup. Once you have pasted the Reverse URL into the URL field of the Link window, make sure that the Protocol field contains "<other>."

No other formatting is required of the Editor Content text.
