This page outlines the process of photography publication in Joomla. It assumes that you've already uploaded the photos to Flickr and created a photo set. For details on that process, read Publishing Photo Sets to Flickr.
This article only covers stand-along photography articles, where photos were captured at a live event, outside of the KDHX studios. For process and guidelines on photos taken for a Live at KDHX session, see Publishing photo sets for Live at KDHX Sessions.
Contents
Preparing the copy
Photographers are required to submit 50-150 words describing the event. The text should be engaging and give a factual overview of the concert or event. It should not be a review, and criticism is often out of place here.
Copy will be submitted with the photos, via Basecamp. Photographers may paste the text in the message box when uploading; may attach a separate Word doc, RTF, or text file; or may include a file in the ZIP file containing the photos.
Strip the copy of unwanted formatting characters (e.g. smart quotes) by running it through the Convert Word to Plain Text tool, regardless of whether or not the text originated in MS Word. Copy the clean text and paste it into a text editor -- Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac are both included with their operating systems, but any text editor is fine.
Content formatting on KDHX.org is based on AP style guidelines -- with a few minor variations AP style is used throughout. Read KDHX online writing style for an overview on the most common rules that you will encounter. Further details on AP style can be found at the Purdue Online Writing Lab.
Creating the article in Joomla
From the admin panel for KDHX.org, create a new K2 article. This can be done by selecting "Add new item" from the Control Panel, or by selecting "New" from the action bar at the top of the K2 Items view. In the currently installed version of Joomla, the "New" button in the K2 Items view does not work properly in Google Chrome.

Social media
Much of the traffic to these articles originates from Facebook and Twitter, so it's extremely important to seed the content on both platforms.
Read Seeding KDHX pages on Facebook and Twitter for guidelines on this process.
Other
If access to a show was obtained via a band member, publicist, record label, or other external source, send the individual(s) that granted access a link to the article. The publicist or musician will be more likely to post to official social media accounts. This is also shows them the high-quality content that we've produced, which makes it more likely that they'll be willing to grant access again in the future.
