==Overview==
 
Music News is the category on KDHX.org for interviews, features, lists and other essays related to music. [http://kdhx.org/music/news kdhx.org/music/news]
 
  
:- All articles should be substantive, not just a short blurb about your show or the mention of an upcoming concert; those belong on your DJ show page.
 
:- All articles should be relevant to the KDHX audience.
 
:- You may also submit album or concert review to this category. The editor will move them to the review section for you.
 
 
Music reviews are located here: http://kdhx.org/music/reviews

==Getting started==
 
===Enter a catchy headline in the Title field===
 
: [[Image:K2-add-item-top.jpg|border]]
 
 
:- A good headline will mention the artist you're writing about and will draw in the reader.
 
:- It should be clever and informative.
 
:- Try to keep it to 12 words or less.
 
:- Use single quote marks instead of double quote marks in the headline.
 
 
===Title Alias===
 
Leave this field blank. K2 will auto-generate the alias once the item is saved.
 
 
===Tags===
 
Add a few tags (keywords). Artist name, music genre, type of article (interview, review, et.al.), record label, etc. 4-6 tags are adequate.
 
 
Be careful to spell your tags correctly. Use the drop down suggestions whenever possible.
 
 
===Category===
 
 
Make sure you choose the correct category of '''Music News''' from the drop down list.
 
 
===Featured===
 
 
Leave "Featured" defaulted to '''No'''.
 
 
===Published===

11. If you wish to add an image, you may do so, but it must be exactly 600x400 pixels in size and it must also be rights clear (from an official website of the artist or from the public domain). Add a caption (name of artist, if the viewer might not know from looking at the image) and credit (name of photographer and/or the website where you found the image).
 
 
If you do not have an image or do not wish to add one in, the editor will take care of that.
