  • Tag: You can add tags to enable search via the tag cloud.
  • Image: You can add an image for your news article.
  • Summary: A short body of text that will be seen in the news component or the preview of your article.
  • Content: The main body of your article.
  • Link: This will allow you to place an URL that will link your article to a different news source.
  • Comments: You can choose to enable or disable other users from commenting on your article.

 

Before publishing your new article, you can navigate to the Metadata tab where you can add metadata to the article providing more information, if necessary.
