New people are coming in this spot everyday, and then they want to write their own artikel & 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 artikel 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 artikel-artikel on this site are opinion articles, like "My kegemaran Princesses" atau "My kegemaran Princess Movies". These are fun to do, but be careful when choosing the senarai anda want to write. The best ideas for opinion artikel-artikel are:
♥ kegemaran Princesses
♥ kegemaran Princess movies
♥ Prettiest Princesses
♥ kegemaran Princess songs
...and many more. anda can take a look at link because she has a lot of ideas for the traditional countdown article, and frankly, her artikel-artikel are fantastic. If anda want to do a informational article, like "The Meaning of Disney Princess Songs" atau "Alan Menken & his Princess Songs", make sure anda do lots of research. Make sure anda gathered all your information before even starting the article, and make sure the artikel hasn't been done before on the same topic.

Step 2: Think of a good tajuk & summary
Remember - the tajuk is the first thing people see. The first thing that draws them to the article. For example, a tajuk 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 Penulisan 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 artikel about? If it's a countdown, a normal tajuk like, "My kegemaran 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 artikel-artikel on Fanpop, I've really never read a single summary. The tajuk is all that draws me in. So just make a it quick, sweet & to the point.
"A senarai of my kegemaran princesses"
"References to Islam in the movie Aladdin"

Step 3: Write & Organize Your Information
For opinion articles:
At the very beginning of your article, anda might atau might not want to write a quick intro to your article, explaining what it's about and wishing everyone a happy read. anda 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 anda 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 artikel you're writing. anda should see a box that says "Formatting Tips":

Use these instructions to spice up your artikel a little.
For informational articles:
The most important thing for this kind of artikel is ORGANIZATION. anda want to section your artikel into different sections of information so anda don't confuse your reader atau get them off track. Great examples of this can be found in link and link. Use the formatting tips to organize your artikel 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 anda save the best for last. When doing opinion articles, anda can find all pictures of princesses, princes, songs, and even movie titles at link. EVERYTHING is there. Bookmark it & never lose it. When anda get the picture of the princess atau other thing you're looking for, you're going to want to make it look beautiful because beautiful pictures in an artikel just make people want to peminat it just for the pictures. My kegemaran photo-editing sites are:
♥ link
♥ link
When you've editing your pictures, follow these instructions:

To get your pictures seterusnya to the paragraph, put the alignment code on bahagian, atas 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 artikel and feel like everything is perfect, click that siarkan button. Since everyone(including me) is too lazy to check the artikel section for new articles, you'll have no choice but to mengiklankan it. The best way to do that is to make a pick:
"Will anda read my artikel on (insert artikel topic here)?"
Then give people two simple choices: yes atau no. siarkan that pick, and then the most important part, PUT THE LINK TO THE artikel 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 komen-komen that way. anda can also post the link on the wall, but trust me, the pick way is much lebih efficient.

I hope I helped & I'm looking ke hadapan to seeing all your new artikel-artikel soon.
