General Stuff

Posting Articles, Photos and Videos

What kind of content can I post? You can also post articles, photos and videos from around the web (we hope you have the rights to). We encourage you to post "original" articles on iGossip, where you share personal celebrity experiences or one-of-a-kind celebrity news.
How do I post a blog, story or gossip? First you will want to register and Sign in (however it is not mandatory). Start with the "Post Gossip" button at the very top navigation bar. First you will write your post and then you will categorize it. Then you will add a photo or video (optional). If you're linking to an article found elsewhere on the web, do not cut-and-paste the article in its entirety. Instead, include an excerpt, recap in your own words and point of view. If you're writing an original article for iGossip, then you do not need to include a link to another website.
Can I post content anonymously? Yes. You can post articles and posts, as well as comments on other user content, anonymously as long as you check the box that says "I agree to the submission agreement."
Can I post content from my own blog? Yes. We encourage you to submit work form your blog and promote it on iGossip. You can also submit work from other people's blogs, mainstream entertainment sites, and any other sites that include celebrity content, including videos, photos and more.
What are tags and why should I use them? "Tags" are also known as "Categories" on the site. Tags indicate what the content is about (for example, if the post is about Movies, Music, Rumors, etc). You should select tags when you post articles, photos and videos because they make it easier for readers (and Search Engines) to find your content.
I can't find the right tag to use. What should I do? If we are missing a tag that you think we should have sent us an email at feedback@igossip.com
How do I post a photo? There are two ways to post photos. When you are writing your story go to the "Photos" section and you will see two options:
1) From My Computer - click the "From My Computer" button. Then hit the "Browse" button to search for the photo on your computer, find it in your files, and click "Open" on the popup window. Then make sure its file location is added in the box provided and hit the "Upload" button.
2) From The Internet – click the "From The Internet" button and paste the URL. In order to find a photo URL, simply put your cursor over the image you wish to upload, RIGHT click the mouse button, and from the drop-down menu chose "copy image location". Then past the URL into the box.
How do I post a video? Similar to how you'd post an image from the Internet. However, you can only post YouTube videos at this point and time. Simply provide the link to YouTube and enter it in the "From The Internet" area.
Can I upload videos directly from my computer? No, you have to upload them to YouTube (youtube.com) then copy the YouTube URL over here when you post a gossip.
Can I post a video from Youtube and Google video? No, only YouTube videos are allowed
Can I share my articles, photos and videos with people online and across the Internet? Absolutely, in fact, we encourage you to do so as it will provide more exposure to your content. We've dedicated a whole section to this (below) called "Sending & Sharing Content Online" and we encourage you to review it closely.
Why can't I post 2 gossips in the same minute? We noticed when people post more than one article in a 2 minute span they are more apt to making mistakes. Rather than going too fast, use the time to make your articles interesting and spell check your work thereby making it more appealing to the iGossip community.
Can I delete my articles and content I post? No, but you can ask a moderator to assist you by sending an email to support@igossip.com.
I posted as "Anonymous" can I change it to show that I posted it? No, there is no way to prove who posted an anonymous gossip.
Why are my pictures blurry (or "pixelated")? If your pictures on your articles or posts are blurry it is likely because they are stretched out ("pixelated"). To avoid this you can do one of two things:
1) If you're uploading from your computer, typically, a big picture will not be affected as much or become pixelated.
2) Another way to avoid a pixilated picture is to take a picture from a source on the Internet rather than copying to your desktop. In order to do this look review the "How do I post a photo to article?" question above.
