Site Features
Don't let this scare you. Submit Article is nothing more than submitting a question, providing an answer or discussing a subject. It is broken down into several topics, General Discussion, Fire News, Fire Jobs, Fire Training and Site News. Site News is reserved for Site Administrators and is where you will find site specific information. The rest are open for you to post in as relevant topic discussion. For instance, you could ask a General Training question like "How do you train on BlahBlahBlah..." In the other topics just keep it relevant. Fire News, Fire Jobs are just that. If you have a little bit of news go ahead and post it.
Now here's something cool.
You can syndicate all your posts. What does that mean? If you click on your username under Who's Online on the right it will take you to your profile. In your profile you'll see "RSS Feed for username XML. This is the RSS/XML feed for all your posted articles/stories and you can use it in any online Feed Aggregator. So if you have your own web page you can pull all of your articles into your own site. Likewise we have an RSS/XML feed for each Topic and one for the entire site.
Also if you decide to become a regular poster I can upgrade your rights to give you more functionality. So go ahead and give it a try. Don't worry if it's not grammatically correct, it's the information that's important.
Hint: Write it first in MS Word or MS Wordpad and use the Spellchecker and don't feel bad if someone edits your post. Usually it's just a matter of fixing some formatting or typos.
