Submission to ATSNN

All,
Can someone send me an up-to-date how-to for this? The one I read said that there is a submission button available in the mCenter, but I don't see one there at all. Any ideas?

-P

postings,

It's under the heading "Send News". Hope that helps.

It's this button:

in the toolbar at the top, next to mCENTER.

Got it! Thanks.

Here's my very own synopsis of the guidelines for ATSNN. If you follow these, you will meet the minimum standards for submission. Other factors include pertinence and timeliness, which can be more elusive and subject to the personal preferences of voters and moderators:

Intro:

At least three sentences summarizing the article. No direct quotes. No personal opinions. No bias.

Source:
About four paragraphs from the article, but since journalists rarely follow formal writing styles, just enough to get the point across.

Analysis:

A paragraph or two telling the board what you think about the subject. A series of questions is not an analysis. If you don't have any independent thoughts on the subject, it would probably be better to call the article to the attention of someone who might.

PS:

Unless you are really familiar with BB codes, ediiting a submission can be tricky. I think it's better to ask for help, otherwise.

It seems those mod's can get very picky when it comes to a submission geting through...maybe I shouldn't be asking those questions at the end.

I believe, with the exception of a mod/staff upgrade, all ATSNN submissions are voted Up/Down by the members of ATS, not the Mods/Staff.
[edit for clarity]
...of course, mods and staff get to vote as well.

Yes, your probably right but I've had some of mine get rejected due to incorrect content or not following some part of the guidelines. What I meant was that it's kind of comfusing as to what I am doing wrong.
