Article: Send as a Word document. Please do not send your submission in an e-mail or another program as it may cause formatting problems. Spell check your own document, as we cannot do an automated spell check when preparing the bulletin.
Typeface: Verdana, size: 10 point.
Formatting:
Bold – yes, where appropriate and in moderation.
Italics - yes, where appropriate and in moderation.
Underlining - no, readers will interpret this as a link
Tables – simple tables work, complex tables should be sent as a pdf as formatting may be lost. Refer to the table in your article and then we will place a link to the pdf attachment.
Spell check – please be aware that we cannot run a spell check in the Bulletin, so you need to fully check your article prior to submitting.
Photographs/images: Photos make a story, so if you have some, please send them. Please preselect the best ones yourself. Remember these are public, so should reflect the event in a positive way. Send the original photograph or image as a jpeg file as this will ensure a better quality image. Do not crop the photo/image yourself. Please send your photographs/images as an attachment to your e-mail and do not include them in your Word document. We are restricted with the location of the images so if you refer to a specific image, do provide us with a caption.
pdf's: Please remember, when you send us a pdf, we cannot access the information to pull out content or make corrections. A pdf is useful if you have a long article, more than two paragraphs. You can send us a Word document with an abbreviated version along with a pdf for those people who would like to read more.
Links: Please feel free to include.
Content/text:
Heading/title - maximum of 25 characters.
Sub heading - you can place a longer title here if needed.
Body text – remember to keep it short, focused and interesting. Your article will be read online only so try to write for the online reader (short, use bullets for listing, don’t use letter format).
Student names: In the interest of the safety and security of students, parents and staff, please do not use the surnames in your submission. First names only and do not associate the name of a student with a photograph. If you are mentioning Staff, remember that this content is public.
e-mail address: We recommend that you do not include your personal e mail address but refer readers to additional information on InsideASH.
