To our members,

FantasySharks.com is looking for a few good writers!!  

After being reviewed by the Editors we will post it to the main page so please spell and grammar check your work. If it's too much to edit, we likely won't and if we feel it doesn't meet our site standards, we may not publish your work.  Just so it's said.

This is a great way to get recognition for your work and get published. Those that are the best of the best will be asked to join the FantasySharks team as a compensated writer if you are willing.  Just so it is clear, it isn't a full-time job offer with office parties and free copy paper but we do feel we fairly compensate our writers and we feel that they agree.

Questions?   Please contact us by clicking here.

Best Regards,

The Fantasy Sharks staff

An explanation of how to enter articles

The Article Manager page can be found at this link:

FantasySharks Article Management  

User: Guest
Password: Shark

Now, let me run down the fields and a few tricks you need to know when
entering in your article.

Articles Section
1 : Title: This is the Title you see on the main page at the top of the article.

2: Filename: Take the default.

3: Category: Pick "Today's Articles".   Your submission will go in a "Pending" status and will not be automatically posted.

Article Content Section

1. Date/Time:   Either leave the default or change it to the date you would like it posted

2: Summary: This is the teaser for the main page

3 : Content: This is the actual article. You can cut-paste your article directly in.  If you used MS-Word to create your article, you must click on the "Paste from Word" button in the editors toolbar and add your article that way.

A few tricks to entering Content:

3 a:   The "link" icon allows you to put an HTML link directly in your text.
You would highlight your text, click the "link" icon and enter or paste the
HTML link into the pop-up box.

3b:   The "<>" is the HTML editor. You can enter HTML code by clicking on
the"<>" icon. If you don't know how to enter HTML code ... don't use this. If you do, you can use this feature. The best way to do it is click the <>
once, then enter your stuff, then it VERY important to click the <> again
before saving.

3c:   Sometimes when you cut/paste an article, the hard returns make paragraphs or lists look too far spaced apart. For instance, look at this article:

Originally Article Manager put a space in between each of Doug's players. To get around this, you can bring a line up, then hit "Shift-Enter". This gets rid of the extra space between paragraphs or hard returns.

3 d:   There is a simple editor in here if you want to play around with your article within Article Manager but I'd recommend doing it in your normal editor and not use this one.   Our font is Verdana, 10 pt font.

3 e:   You can Preview your article by pressing the "Preview without   Publishing" button. NOTE: You cannot have a pop-up blocker on, because this prevents the page from popping  up.

4:   Manage Images: This allows you to load in images into your article.   Once uploaded you put the ***image1*** into the article and the picture should display. Be a bit careful about overusing this kind of thing as we don't own pictures generally speaking and try to minimize the amount of   download time within articles.   Only use public domain pictures, if you are not sure, please don't add them.

Last Section

1:  External Link: Not Used

2:  F eatured "Show this article first in lists": Please leave this blank

3 : Author: Enter your name

4:  Author Title:   Please pick “Fantasy Football Guest Writer”

5:  Author Pic:   Please use sharkhead.jpg

6:  Categories:  Please check all categories that apply to your article.

7:  Comments: Enter you email here so we can reply to you at a later time.

8 :  Headline Title Graphic: Please use "blank"

9 :  Feature Image/Feature Caption: Please leave these blank.

PLEASE spell check your articles before dropping them in. Spelling errors and players names misspelled make the site look bad and we won't post it.  Do not worry about linking player names to player pages, the site will do that automatically as long as the players name is spelled correctly.

The Preview Button on the bottom allow you to see what it would look like once posted.   Make sure your Popup blocker is turned off.  

After that just Save and it’ll be submitted.
