The main unit of content that you will be writing on the klat network is the artictle. Follow these easy steps to add a new article to a site:

1. Log in to the site you want to write an article for. Please do not write articles directly to klat.com.
2. Click the "+Article" link on the top left toolbar. You can also add node/add/article to the URL you are on. Important: please do no click the "add a post" link that you see on the front page of most klat sites - this is reserved for anonymous and non-writer submissions only.
3. There are three major components to creating your article: the body, categorization, and enhancement - each of these components has a separate tab on the left hand side of the screen, and you will need to visit them all before saving/submitting you article.

Fields

1) Create Article Body Tab

• Title: Please avoid long titles and excessive punctuation within the title. Titles should always be unique (no repeats please!). Use the subtitle field for longer explanations/titles.
• Subtitle: Use the subtitle to provide a short "topic sentence" or preview of the article's content. The subtitle appears in some areas of the klat network as the "teaser" or preview of your article.
• Body: This is the main bulk of your article. Please be sure to use the spell check and to add a page break (the last button on the toolbar). Instructions for adding images or video are given in a separate topic. If you are pasting content from a fdifferent text editor, please be sure that the editor does not include excessive page breaks, unusual formatting, or exotic HTML. Tip: If you prefer to write in HTML, click "disable rich-text" just below the text editor. This is also a good way to troubleshoot display issues.
• Attribution/Credits: Please list any credits for content and/or media in the article. Feel free to link to sources.

2) Categorize Your article

• Tags: Enter as many comma-separated tags as you like to help categorize and describe your article. Although most tags do NOT get their own page, the tags are used in on-site search engines as well as by klat's patented technology  to help crosspost and organize the network.
• Attach This Article to a Series: You can attach your article to any pre-existing series using this tool. If you do, the series page will include this article in it's listing of associated articles. Additionally, you article will display a label and link to the series page to let the reader know that this article is part of a series. Please read the section on adding series pages for more information on how to create, manage, and use the series tool.

3) Enhance Your Article
