Why Should You Write An Article?

     We encourage every member to write articles, upload photo's, post on the forum, and use the other features of the website. Articles are literally the "web pages" of CollegeARC and provide a great way to share information about your club (Whether your the president or a new member), projects, news, or other related topics. The content management system that this website uses makes writing an article really simple and easy to create a professional looking document, articles can even be downloaded as PDF files! If you have ever used a forum or e-mail system (Like Gmail) then you will quickly become familiar with the way articles are written here. Any member can create an article with photos, video, and more embedded into the page! Keep in mind that new articles will need to have approval before posting to the site, this is done to make sure the settings and such are correct. Don't be afraid to write something, short and long articles will be approved and if needed we can help you with it as well.

P.S. Guests can comment on articles!

Author Incentives

     CollegeARC.com offers a few incentives to write articles and contribute to the website. These incentives are easy and fun to attain (Yes, writing a little can be fun!). There is no "minimum" length of an article, we only ask that you put your best into writing it! Once you submit an article remember that it will have to be "Published" by an administrator, so don't worry it will be posted shortly! Once you attain an incentive your profile will be updated with the "Incentive" so that visitors will see that you've contributed to CollegeARC.com content.
