How to submit

  • Admin of the website uses following email id: researchinidc@gmail.com
  • They can create credentials for you. This communication can be done over email
  • Once you have the credentials, you can add/publish the post.

Roles

Pretty much like reddit roles or wordpress roles

  • Gl-admin: Admin role. Can do all the stuff to the website
  • Left-writer: Can post stuff on blogs only, not to other permalinks and cannot change the configs of the website
  • Moderator: Can publish the site. Admin can do this as well.

Some stuff to note and take care of

  • One can add to the website using your credentials as follows:
    The window will be divided in two parts, vertically. On the left, there you can add your content either in rich text like MS-word or one can use markdown (I think is kramdown since it is essentially a static site generator). If you speak HTML, you can also use that by turning on the markdown toggle switch (Pretty standard for markdown users)
  • This is like wordpress, but not wordpress. This is like a flat-file static site generator but with some automation from Netlify. Hence, whenever you pubish or update the content of the site, there will be some delay (~30000 ms) to reflect the changes you made. So, please be patient as Netlify builds the website (yes, entire website within ~2000 ms, pushes it to a git repo ~20000 ms) for you using a single click.
  • Provide author link or description at the end of the article.
