How to create a post
In left column go to “Post”—“Add new”
Write Headline and the text of your article.
To insert a youtube video copy/paste video link into the body text. If the video is the main message of your post, insert it before text.
To create a gallery go to “Add Media” — “Create Gallery” and upload your pics. Important: mind the size of the uploaded photos. The longer frame cannot be more than 1200px wide with the resolution 72. Do not forget to add detailed and complete captions. Set the Gallery settings (righthand menu) exactly as in the print screens below:
- always link to “Media file”

- never use random order/ you can order your picture by dragging them where you want
- always use thumbnail for size
- choose a type (thumbnail grid, tiled mosaic or tiled columns)

Set the categories in the righthand menu:
- if you want your post to view in the homepage slider, use category “Top articles”
