Composing Your StoryAfter clicking a link to submit a story, the first page will ask you to compose your story. You will need to enter a title that serves as the story headline, add a short description that will display as the story's subheading, and then enter the content of your story. You can either type in the content directly or copy it from another program. On succeeding pages, you will have the opportunity to add a photo to illustrate your story and then preview the story before you submit it. To compose your story: Step 1. Enter a title for your story: The title that you enter here will display as the headline of the story as well as in the list of available stories that others will see on the Web site.

Enter the contents of your story: You can either type in text or transfer it from another source. If you have typed out your story in a Microsoft Word document, you can copy and paste it here. Note that, regardless of the typeface or font you have used in the original document, the story will be published in the standard font used on our Web site. To copy and paste from a Word Document:
