 * Select category '''News''' for TEI Consortium news. This would be anything officially related to the activities of the TEI Consortium: announcements about the Member's Meeting, the ''Journal of the TEI'', calls for nominations to Council or Board, announcements related to the Guidelines, Access TEI, the SIGs, TEI tools like Sebastian Rahtz's stylesheets, etc. As a rule of thumb, if it's connected with something you can find listed under the top menu selections on the TEI website, it's "Consortium news".

 Before starting to post an article, you should "claim" it if it is from one of these sources:
-- TEI-L
+* TEI-L
-- email to news@tei-c.org
+* email to news@tei-c.org
 Claim it by sending a brief note to the news alias (news@tei-c.org) to say "I will post this item". Please claim an article only if you intend to post it right away; one reason for having multiple news volunteers is to get items online as soon as possible.

 Looking at the TEI [http://www.tei-c.org/News/ News] page will give you a good idea of the kinds of items to post. Basically, we want to post ''all'' formal announcements that go out to the TEI community, normally via the TEI-L list, related to activities of the TEI Consortium (Members Meetings, Guidelines and tools releases, calls for papers, Access TEI, and so on). In addition, we want to publish a reasonable ''selection'' of other TEI-related news. See [[News_Editors#Selecting_a_Category|Selecting a Category]] for more examples.
-We want a regular flow of news items but not a deluge. A reasonable target would be an article or two per day on average.

 ### ''from text:'' Line breaks in your source text will be preserved in the WordPress article, so if possible pre-format the text of your post by consolidating each paragraph into a single line. (If you're good with an editor like vi or Emacs you'll probably find they are good tools for doing this quickly.) Then either use the WYSIWYG icons to add formatting and links, or go into HTML mode to tag them as code.
 ## '''Composing from scratch''': in Visual mode, typing a carriage return starts a new paragraph. In HTML mode, put a blank line between paragraphs (no need to use the &lt;p&gt; tag).
