As we also indicate below, it is required to mention your source correctly if you want to share third-party information. You can mention your source both in the text itself and in the field provided for this purpose.
For some articles it may be useful to mention a location : if you do this, the weather near the place mentioned in the article will appear next to the article . (This is very interesting for regions or events, but not for articles on sports nutrition for example ...)

The easiest way to add pictures is by using the "edit album" module. This is accessible once your article is saved. You can do this on the website by clicking on add a photo in the article. Or in the backend by clicking on 'edit album' at the bottom of the article page.
The first picture in the row will feature on the homepage next to the title of the article.
Videos can be posted in an article by providing the correct Youtube ® or Vimeo ® link in the media module.
