Your First Article
Head over to the Posts page, hit the New post button, get creative.
Post Title
Keep it relevant, no bullshit, no keyword stuffing. Picking an interesting title helps with grabbing people’s attention, but don’t get close to clickbait territory.
Title Capitalization
We follow Chicago 17th A for title capitalization. Feel free to use a tool like titlecaseconverter.com (Chicago style option).
Post URL
Post URL will generally be derived from the Post Title, unless the title is pretty long, in which case, you should come up with a manual URL. It should be simple, easy to understand, and offer context on the actual content of the article. Post title will always be lowercase letters with - instead of spaces. Example: gypsum-farming-guide
Post Tags
Note: For WIP content, use the test tag (Top right Settings -> Tags). This ensures that the article won’t be showcased on the site, but can be accessed via a direct link.
Besides test, you will want to use either the Guide or the News tag, plus the Featured Image tag. Eventually, featured image will be enforced for all posts but, for now, you must use the tag.
Images
Please run all images through squoosh.app to reduce the file size. Use MozJPEG with a Quality of 65-80. The default 75 is often a good choice.
Featured Images
Excerpt
Short description that shows up at the top of articles, and below article images on the homepage and /guides page.
Next Steps
After you’ve added the test tag to the article, you should publish the post (top right Publish → Set it live now). This will allow you to see it on nwdb.info, without it being showcased on the site. The URL format will be similar to https://nwdb.info/guides/gypsum-farming-guide (you just add the Post URL from Ghost after the guides/ part of the link).
When are you satisfied, remove the test tag and Update the post.
