 <title>How do I post a blog entry?</title>
 <link>http://imechanica.org/node/410</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Everyone can &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imechanica.org/user/register&quot;&gt;register for a free account&lt;/a&gt; on iMechanica and post anything of interest to mechanicians.&amp;nbsp; Posting a blog entry is like sending an email:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imechanica.org/user/login&quot;&gt;Log in&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;/node/add/blog&quot;&gt;Post new blog entry&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; at the top left corner of iMechanica&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Write a title&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose a channel in the header of iMechanica.&amp;nbsp; (This step is important if you are posting an adverstisement of a &lt;a href=&quot;/taxonomy/term/73&quot;&gt;job&lt;/a&gt; or a &lt;a href=&quot;/taxonomy/term/74&quot;&gt;conference&lt;/a&gt;.) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Write a body of text&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Attach a file (if you have one)
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; 
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The rest is optional. For example, the following topics might be of interest:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;add &lt;a href=&quot;/104&quot;&gt;tags&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;make &lt;a href=&quot;/135&quot;&gt;hyperlinks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/node/414&quot;&gt;paste a Word file into your blog and make it look nice&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;add &lt;a href=&quot;/245&quot;&gt;images&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;add &lt;a href=&quot;/node/931#comment-1660&quot;&gt;equations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/node/265&quot;&gt;cite articles in journals&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;embed a &lt;a href=&quot;http://imechanica.org/node/376#comment-2774&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Follow a similar procedure to
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/node/add/forum/0&quot;&gt;post a new forum topic&lt;/a&gt; 
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/node/add/image&quot;&gt;post a new image&lt;/a&gt;.
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Related posts&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
	Most journals permit authors to post &lt;strong&gt;self-prepared preprints&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; You can also quickly find &lt;a href=&quot;http://romeo.eprints.org/&quot;&gt;permission of any particular journal&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;write a blog entry offline using &lt;a href=&quot;/node/1427&quot;&gt;Windows Live Writer&lt;/a&gt; 
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/143&quot;&gt;what happens after you post a blog entry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
