Creating a New Article

📝 Step 1: Start a New Article

Writing and Formatting Your Article

✍️ Step 1: Structure Your Content

A well-structured article is more readable and engaging. Here’s a typical structure:

• Section

• Content

• Tips

Introduction

• Hook + subject presentation

• 3-5 sentences max. Use a question or anecdote.

Body

• Development in 2-4 parts

• Use subheadings (H2, H3) to break up the text.

• Conclusion

Summary + call to action

Encourage the reader to comment, share, or take action.

🎨 Step 2: Format the Text

With the Gutenberg editor (block-based):

Headings: Use H2 (main subheadings) and H3 (sub-sections).

• ⚠️ Avoid H1 (reserved for the article title).

• Bold text: For important keywords

• Italic text: For quotes or foreign terms

• Lists: Use bullet points (•) or numbered lists (1.) for enumerations.

• Links: Insert links to reliable sources (click the 🔗 icon in the toolbar).

✅ Example: Discover the ArcheTerre website

📄 Step 3: Use Advanced Blocks

Gutenberg offers specific blocks to enrich your article:

• Paragraph Block: Standard text.

• Image Block: For inserting visuals (see Section 4).

• Gallery Block: For multiple images.

• Quote Block: To highlight a quote.

• Separator Block: To visually divide your article.

• Button Block: To add a call to action (e.g., « Read More »).

4️⃣ Adding Media (Images, Videos, etc.)

🖼️ Insert an Image

Place your cursor where you want to insert the image.

Click the « + » button (add block) > select « Image ».

You have two options:

• Upload: Drag and drop an image from your computer, or click « Upload » to select it.

• Media Library: Choose an already uploaded image.

Once the image is inserted:

• Add alt text (required for accessibility).

• Resize the image by clicking the handles.

• Align the image (left, center, right) via the block options.

Configuring Metadata (Categories, Tags, etc.)

🏷️ Step 1: Choose a Category

Categories help classify your article under a main theme.

In the right column (or at the bottom of the editor), find the « Categories » section.

Check one or more relevant categories.

✅ Examples:Arche Terre if concerning Arche Terre or Outer Lands if not.
the last issue number the last not published right now (21) are the minimum.
