Log in with the password you created.

Step 3. Fill in the form to add a story

Navigate to the Article Submission
page. Fill in all the relevant fields. Below are some hints
for filling in the individual fields:

Is this article original? If the article was written by you,
or you have permission to post it from the author, you can click
yes.

Headline: If a particular
regional interest is not alluded to in the headline, add the
region of interest to
the beginning of the headline, followed by a colon. eg.
US: Farmers protest fertilizer prices

Author: If there is no listed author,
write 'staff writer', or 'unknown' if the former is not appropriate

Publisher: Publisher should
be the name of the publication like 'The Guardian'

URL of Original: This should be a direct
link to where the article was first published. If there is
no direct link to the article, put a link to the publisher's
home page. Please include http:// in the
link.

Date of original publication: Select the
date that the original article was published, rather than the
date you are submitting it to Energy Bulletin

Summary: Please write a summary
of one to two sentences, or choose a quote from the article
of about the same length. The summary appears only on the newswire
summary pages, and not on the page where the full article is
displayed. So if for instance you take the first paragraph
and use it as a summary, also leave it in the body.

Article body: Copy and paste the
entire body of the article (without the date, headline,
author etc.) into this field. If you know how to use HTML you
can include some HTML tags in this field for italics, bolding
and links. If you don't, ordinary plain
text is fine.

Remove single line breaks: If your
article has been copied from a source where each line is ended
with a carriage return, it might display better if you select
this. Single line breaks are deleted, but double ones remain.

This just makes the text go to the edge of the page. If you don't
know what this means, just leave it blank.

Categories: Choose some categories.
There is an heirarchy of categories. If you choose
something low in the heirarchy like 'photovoltaics' you do
not need to choose any of those above it like 'solar' or
'renewables,' as your article will appear automatically in
that section also. If you choose more than six categories you
will get an error.

Does the article specifically mention Peak Oil or Peak
Energy? Choose yes or no. If the terminology is slightly
different but the meaning is the same, also choose yes.

Click Submit! That's it. The article
is now in the database. It is considered pending until one
of the editors reviews it, and approves it, but assuming it
is considered relevant, you should see it shortly. Our editorial
policy is available on the about us page.
