To comment on an article you must be logged in.

4. Adding articles

To add an article (blog, column or story) to your blog; first sign in and then click 'Profile'/'New article'

You must fill in all article fields.

The 'tag' in the drop down is used to categorise your article. When a user clicks that tag on any article on the Website they'll be taken to a page displaying only those articles. Don't worry too much about this as we'll reallocate articles to different tags as required.

If you want to use an image found online, right click on the image, click 'properties', and then copy the url into the 'imageurl' box.


Alternatively, if the image you want to use is not available online, email it to info@deathtoglamour.com from your registered email address, along with the name of the article it is for, and we'll upload it to your article.

If you do not want to include an image with your article; select 'no image'.

Try to use images that have a ratio similar to a computer screen, ideally 300x250 pixels, but don't worry if the image you pick is too big/small as we can easily format it for you before publishing the article. Alternatively, if you own an image that you want to use that is not available online, email it to info@deathtoglamour.com from your registered email address, along with the name of the article it is for, and we'll upload it to your article.

To embed a video from YouTube, go to www.youtube.com, find the video and use the 'Embed' function; if you can, customise the code with a pink border; if not, don't bother, just copy and paste the embed code into the body of your article. Note the code must go within the body of your article.

If we like an article you've submitted to your personal blog, we'll copy it across to the core site. If several of your articles are copied across into the core site, we may notify you to let you know that you've been made a 'Writer'. This means that all the artciles you add to your blog will also appear on the core site.

5. Your Profile

Once signed up, other users will be able to see your username. In your profile you can also add a picture and description which other users will be able to see from their profile section. To edit this information go to profile/click here to edit it.

6. Friends/Followers

If you would like to follow a certain contributor then add them as a friend by clicking on their name in the people section of your profile, then adding them as a friend. Your new friend will then be able to see you listed as one of their followers within their profile. Likewise, you can view a list of your followers within your profile.
