New people are coming in this spot everyday, and then they want to write their own artigo & 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 artigo 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 artigos on this site are opinion articles, like "My favorito Princesses" or "My favorito Princess Movies". These are fun to do, but be careful when choosing the list you want to write. The best ideas for opinion artigos are:
♥ favorito Princesses
♥ favorito Princess movies
♥ Prettiest Princesses
♥ favorito Princess songs
...and many more. You can take a look at link because she has a lot of ideas for the traditional countdown article, and frankly, her artigos are fantastic. If you want to do a informational article, like "The Meaning of disney Princess Songs" or "Alan Menken & his Princess Songs", make sure you do lots of research. Make sure you gathered all your information before even starting the article, and make sure the artigo hasn't been done before on the same topic.
Step 2: Think of a good título & summary
Remember - the título is the first thing people see. The first thing that draws them to the article. For example, a título 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 composição literária 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 artigo about? If it's a countdown, a normal título like, "My favorito 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 artigos on Fanpop, I've really never read a single summary. The título is all that draws me in. So just make a it quick, sweet & to the point.
"A list of my favorito princesses"
"References to islamismo in the movie Aladdin"
Step 3: Write & Organize Your Information
For opinion articles:
At the very beginning of your article, you might or might not want to write a quick intro to your article, explaining what it's about and wishing everyone a happy read. You 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 you 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 artigo you're writing. You should see a box that says "Formatting Tips":
Use these instructions to spice up your artigo a little.
For informational articles:
The most important thing for this kind of artigo is ORGANIZATION. You want to section your artigo into different sections of information so you don't confuse your reader or get them off track. Great examples of this can be found in link and link. Use the formatting tips to organize your artigo 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 you save the best for last. When doing opinion articles, you can find all pictures of princesses, princes, songs, and even movie titles at link. EVERYTHING is there. Bookmark it & never lose it. When you get the picture of the princess or other thing you're looking for, you're going to want to make it look beautiful because beautiful pictures in an artigo just make people want to fã it just for the pictures. My favorito photo-editing sites are:
♥ link
♥ link
When you've editing your pictures, follow these instructions:
To get your pictures seguinte to the paragraph, put the alignment code on topo, início 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 artigo and feel like everything is perfect, click that publicar button. Since everyone(including me) is too lazy to check the artigo section for new articles, you'll have no choice but to anunciar it. The best way to do that is to make a pick:
"Will you read my artigo on (insert artigo topic here)?"
Then give people two simple choices: yes or no. publicar that pick, and then the most important part, PUT THE LINK TO THE artigo 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 comments that way. You can also post the link on the wall, but trust me, the pick way is much mais efficient.
I hope I helped & I'm looking progressivo, para a frente to seeing all your new artigos soon.

Being the last dia of the mês (and being the last dia of Rapunzel's month, I decided to write this artigo about my favorito disney Princess couple. Flynn and Rapunzel.
This is my first artigo (it will be short as it is my first attempt to write one), give your opinion (Please, don’t be rude).
It’s about the main reason why I amor them so much.
Its about the way on how they start their “relationship”.
It wil be written under the pictures as I'm still new on this composição literária thing.
