New people are coming in this spot everyday, and then they want to write their own 記事 & I think it's about time someone wrote a detailed tutorial on how to write one, because it's no easy task. So I decided to do it. This 記事 is mainly for people who want to learn, but if the experienced can think of any other tips, please comment.

Step 1: Think of a topic
Most of the 記事 on this site are opinion articles, like "My お気に入り Princesses" または "My お気に入り Princess Movies". These are fun to do, but be careful when choosing the 一覧 あなた want to write. The best ideas for opinion 記事 are:
♥ お気に入り Princesses
♥ お気に入り Princess movies
♥ Prettiest Princesses
♥ お気に入り Princess songs
...and many more. あなた can take a look at link because she has a lot of ideas for the traditional countdown article, and frankly, her 記事 are fantastic. If あなた want to do a informational article, like "The Meaning of ディズニー Princess Songs" または "Alan Menken & his Princess Songs", make sure あなた do lots of research. Make sure あなた gathered all your information before even starting the article, and make sure the 記事 hasn't been done before on the same topic.

Step 2: Think of a good タイトル & summary
Remember - the タイトル is the first thing people see. The first thing that draws them to the article. For example, a タイトル like:
"why I luvvv princess jasmen!!111!!!111"
Isn't going to attract any readers. No ones going to read that article, because they can already tell that:
1.The writer can't spell.
2.The writer can't use punctuation correctly.
3.The writer doesn't use proper grammar.
It's much like 書く a book. If J.K. Rowling had named her first book, "harry putter n the sorcy stun", well...there goes her fame & money. So think carefully. What is your 記事 about? If it's a countdown, a normal タイトル like, "My お気に入り Princesses" will do. If it's informational, try to make it sound professional looking. Like, "Islam References in Aladdin". For your summary, it's really not as important as your title. In all the time I've read 記事 on Fanpop, I've really never read a single summary. The タイトル is all that draws me in. So just make a it quick, sweet & to the point.
"A 一覧 of my お気に入り princesses"
"References to イスラム教 in the movie Aladdin"

Step 3: Write & Organize Your Information
For opinion articles:
At the very beginning of your article, あなた might または might not want to write a quick intro to your article, explaining what it's about and wishing everyone a happy read. あなた don't have to, but it's not a bad thing to do. Next, usually you'd start with your bottom (princess, song, movie, etc.) and go to your top. When あなた want to make things bold & underlined, for example your subtopic titles to each paragraph about each (princess, song, movie, etc.) just look at the right of the 記事 you're writing. あなた should see a box that says "Formatting Tips":

Use these instructions to spice up your 記事 a little.
For informational articles:
The most important thing for this kind of 記事 is ORGANIZATION. あなた want to section your 記事 into different sections of information so あなた don't confuse your reader または get them off track. Great examples of this can be found in link and link. Use the formatting tips to organize your 記事 too.

Step 4: Pictures
Even though it is tempting to do all your pictures first because they're the best part of making an article, I highly recommend あなた save the best for last. When doing opinion articles, あなた can find all pictures of princesses, princes, songs, and even movie titles at link. EVERYTHING is there. Bookmark it & never lose it. When あなた get the picture of the princess または other thing you're looking for, you're going to want to make it look beautiful because beautiful pictures in an 記事 just make people want to ファン it just for the pictures. My お気に入り photo-editing sites are:
♥ link
♥ link
When you've editing your pictures, follow these instructions:

To get your pictures 次 to the paragraph, put the alignment code on 上, ページのトップへ of the paragraph. To put it under the paragraph, put the alignment code under the paragraph. A great example of fantastic picture alignments & editing can be found in almost all of link.

Step 5: Get People to Read it
Once you've re-read your 記事 and feel like everything is perfect, click that 公開する button. Since everyone(including me) is too lazy to check the 記事 section for new articles, you'll have no choice but to 広告 it. The best way to do that is to make a pick:
"Will あなた read my 記事 on (insert 記事 topic here)?"
Then give people two simple choices: yes または no. 公開する that pick, and then the most important part, PUT THE LINK TO THE 記事 IN THE PICK COMMENTS. So when people see the pick and say, "Hey, sure I'll read your article!" and click yes, they can just click on the link and be directed straight to it. You'll get lots of コメント that way. あなた can also post the link on the wall, but trust me, the pick way is much もっと見る efficient.

I hope I helped & I'm looking フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして to seeing all your new 記事 soon.
