A guide from eRep Wiki - http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Write_article


Hopefully for most of you the guide will get you through, but seeing as though I have had many DUMMY moments so below will be the eRepublik Newspaper Article Procing for Dummies ( some say I am still one ).

Step One : Enter a Title

Straightforward enough but make title interesting to get people to want to read it.

Step Two : Write what you want to say, you can add photos as well. I had a lot of trouble getting photos into the article.
I only know one way to make it work and it takes a few steps, I use IRC channel as a halfway point to get mine
from Google Images to my article, more experienced players are better at it than I am, anyway I will go through
each step.






First-: I go to google images, (the only source I use at this stage) and look for a photo to suit article.
Second-: I might want to use a photo of a wombat (hey you may want to call someone a wombat maybe) so I type
into google images, "wombats" then choose one you like and click on it, then will click on view original
image and copy URL then I will paste on an IRC channel (just make your own if you want to be secretive 🙂
then click on that and it comes up in the sidebar and again I copy the URL then go to my tab where I am
writing my article.\
Once there click on the little green square tab next to the U underline button and enter URL
into the pop up box and then click preview to make sure the image does appear. I have had many fails doing
this because I didn't have jpg at end of URL but just wipe anything after the jpg and it should be all
good. Other thing to watch out for is photo size, a huge one will not fit well.
I found that if I didnt got through the steps I laid out every step of the way I only got thumb-
nail photos and that's a pain but fixable.

Step Three-: Once you have pictures and text laid out to satisfaction (including any links) you just have to click PUBLISH
and you can then choose what category your article should go in, for example this one I will choose the - First
steps in eRepublik category. Mine usually go into the social one, so far never used political, miltary etc.


One day you can become a media moghul like this bloke.
