1. Be sure to be logged in.*

2. Mouse over Plus icon (+) in menu bar and click Add News.

An Add a News Article popup will appear.

3. Upload Date - this is when you want your article to appear on RunnerSpace

4. Creation Date - this is when you want your article to appear to have been created (particularly useful for uploading news articles for past years).

6. Categories and Folders

Category - Required

Other fields are not required, but help keep your news articles organized in our system.

7. Tags

Add appropriate tags that will apply to the news article or documents you're uploading (i.e. news from the Oregon Relays can be tagged Oregon-Relays as this tag will apply to all the news articles and/or documents).

8. Attach to Profiles

This is where you attach your news article to an event, group, or profile (i.e. news articles from the Oregon Relays can be attached to the Oregon Relays event site).  Type in Oregon Relays and a dropdown list of possible matches will appear.  Select your event from that list and it will appear in the list of pages you are attaching your news to.  You can attach to more than one page at a time (i.e. if all your news articles from the Oregon Relays are of the South Eugene track team, attach your news to South Eugene as well).  After reviewing your news articles, we will approve them and they will appear on the pages you've attached them to.  Attaching your news articles to other pages is important in spreading your news beyond your own profile and sharing them with the running community.  You can be a vital part of community event coverage just by attaching your news to pages we have already created - most meets, races, groups, teams, etc. have already been created in our system!  If you're attaching to your own event (one that you have created and are the administrator for the page) and you have official news for the event (i.e. Schedule, Entries, Results, etc.) - you can check the "Post As" box in the attachment window after selecting your event so your news will appear to have been posted by your event.
