How does my News Reader work?

Very basically, it is a web-based RSS reader. You point it to the RSS feeds (most websites with them advertise them somewhere on the main page -- look for an orange button with three ))) in it, or a link that says RSS Feed) and it will pick that up, so you can use this as a hub for all your frequently browsed news pages.

 

Where is my news reader?

Click on the News Tab. There, on the right hand side there is a link to "My News Reader" which will take you to your News Reader management page.

 

I added a source, but it doesn’t load, what’s going on?

First, check is that the site you added is up and running.

The next thing to check is that the RSS feed was entered properly. It should be a link similar to http://www.website.com/xml/news.rss.

If you’re still having trouble, send an e-mail to help@napalmriot.com.

 

How do I submit a news article?

Click on the News Tab. There, on the right hand side there is a link to "Submit News" which will take you to your News Submissions management page.

Here, you can write a news article, very similar to submitting a blog entry. Be sure to select a category for your news (if there's one one that fits, submit it under General). If your news is about a specific game, be sure to choose the game it's related to.

If your news is about a game that's not yet been added to the library, send a note to ӝrotane or ӝthehalcyon. Tell them that you need the game added, ASAP, for a news piece, and they'll get to it as quick as they can.

It’s also important to note that if you do not write the article yourself, you make certain you express exactly where the article came from. Plagiarism is against Napalm Riot's Terms of Use.

 

I submitted a piece of news, but it’s not showing up right away, why?

To prevent abuse of the News submission system each piece of news is read through before it is approved to be shown on the News page of Napalm Riot. We try to check the news submissions several times a day, so it may take a couple of hours to see your post.

If your news isn’t showing up, but other articles are, it could be because that news was submitted earlier than yours. However, if after 24 hours it never appears, contact either ¤Sangue or ӝthehalcyon via the notes system with your inquiry.
