- Headings help. Use heading styles (starting with Heading 2) in the Google doc to give your content structure. If you copy and paste from the Google doc be sure to remove the bold styling that is added in the Contentful rich text editor.
- Format for easy posting. To help with efficiency when moving Google articles into Contentful, use a single return instead of a double return for paragraphs. It looks funny in Google doc, but is a great help when moving into Contentful.
- Link, link, link. Linking to articles shows the research process and thoughtful approach. Link to other Foundry articles and sources outside of the Foundry.
- Hyperlink to words in the article
- Use descriptive words when hyperlinking. Avoid "click here" or "this post"
- If you copy and paste your content from the Google doc into Contentful you will have to remove the underline style that is added (There will be a validation error in Contentful). Select the link text and press
cmd+u.
- Double check images. Proceed with caution when including images in articles. If unsure, check with a peer or read more on copyright and image use.
