How to create a news item on RouteYou
- Log in
- Selecter CREATE In the main menu
- Select the option NEWS ITEM
Structure of the news
The meta info
- Title: Keep it short (max. 100 chars)
- Start date: The date indicates when it will be published. Don't put it too early in case it is linked to a specific date, because it might get pushed away by other news items.
- End date: Indicates when the item is not relevant anymore (you might take a date very far in the future if it stays relevant for ever)
- About: Indicates if the news is relevant for a specific type of route
The main info/news
The text-editor allows you to write a complete message including layout. Some advice:
- Structure your news with bullet-points and combine it with other text.
- Add a picture or a logo of your organisation (but don't make it too big: 512*256 pxls is big enough)
- Create a lot of links to routes, locations,... on RouteYou but also links to your website, Facebook page,...
- Create a link form Facebook and Twitter back to this news item on RouteYou (copy the URL)

Read here what we consider as SPAM.
Where do we show your news
- On your public user page (under construction)
- In case we "upgrade it" to general news:
- On the home page
- On every private user page (when a user logs in)
- In our news letter we sent by email
Inform us to upgrade/promote your news
If your news is relevant for a lot of the RouteYou users, we like to upgrade it to general RouteYou news. This gives it a lot more exposure
What is relevant
- Events/news linked to routes and route-activities
- Events/news linked to specific places
- A combination of both
Inform us via info@routeyou.com and send us a link to your news info after you created the news on RouteYou!
