Tips

• Your title should be directly relevant to the subject of your Article – not vague or cryptic.
• A good average length for an Article is about 1,000 words (about 6,000 characters).
• Include and repeat keywords in your Article – use words or phrases you would enter if you were searching for your Article.
• You can upload a partially completed Article and then continue to work on it later using Dadooda’s powerful edit functions.
• If you copy and paste your Article into the template from a word processing application such as Microsoft Word we recommend you check the pasted text carefully for punctuation and other formatting anomalies. For further information please see Entering Text.
• You may find it helpful to copy any images you wish to use to a temporary folder on your desktop. You can delete the folder after you have uploaded your Article.
