How to Submit Stories



Please post links to factual information about local news, local resources, or local events in the greater Lawrence area.  Other links about information you think may be of interest to members of the local community are also acceptable.

You can also submit items to the LawrenceCommunityWiki, a web based collection of local information which is authored and edited in a collaborative fashion by anyone with the time and interest.


To submit a story:
  1. Click on the "Submit Story" tab  at the top of the home page. 
  2. Enter a short (5-10 word) title
  3. Select a topic, if you believe another topic needs to be added, please email me and I'll add it
  4. Enter a longer description in the "Intro Text", include a link to the information (see below).  You can put multiple links in any section of your story if you wish.
  5. If you need more space to enter information or a summary of the item, use the "Body Text" field
  6. Make sure to select "HTML formatted" for the post mode so you can enter a link.
  7. You can click the "Preview" button at the bottom of the page to see how it will look.
  8. Then click "Save" and your story will be submitted

Entering Links:

Any link you want to place in your story should look like this:

<a href="http://link">Link name or description</a>

For example, a link to the LJ World page would look like this:

Here is the main page of the <a href="http://ljworld.com">Lawrence Journal World</a>

Which will look like this when submitted:
