Firstly, we'd like to say thank you for volunteering to participate in making the world's first truly online depository for cryptozoological news.  There has never been anything close to what we intend this to become, and we thank you for making it what it will be.

To post an article or news story, click on the admin button, which is located on the bottom of the first screen, and a link to it is posted here for your convenience.

Once you're logged in, you'll see a screen like the one below:

The category bar at the top drops down to reveal the current list of categories, which are set, we will not ask you to add new categories, so if you feel the story requires a new category, please email Jon or Elliott.  The category bar will default to the first category in alphabetical order, so please ensure that the category selected is the one the news story best fits into.

Next, question, refers to the title of the article.  We have currently added articles without the date in the title to avoid confusion.  Please just copy the title down as it was written in the article and where not title is given, use the headline or sub line.

Answer refers to the actual body of the article text.  Please either type out the article, or use copy and paste (highlight the text and hold down control and press C to copy it, move to the article answer window, click on it to get the flashing cursor and press down control and press V).  We have usually reproduced the article with the source (name of newspaper or journalist for example) followed by the date as the UK standard day/month/year.

Finally, date, which is the date that the event was written not today's date which is the default date included.  Please check you have changed the date (unless the article was written today).

Finally click the submit button to add the article.
