=="We are the News": Eight tips for better notable posts==

'''1. Remember journalism's five "W"s: Who, What, When, Where, Why/hoW.'''
''These are reporting basics. For us, DATES are critical; always include.''

'''2. __"Use your words"__ (not just images) for Q proofs, etc.'''
''If you can't describe it, how is baker supposed to?''
Text is important. People searching for your info in qresear.ch can only search on text.

'''3. Use __RED TEXT & bold__ to call out notables. '''
''This REALLY helps bakers locate notables & avoid eye strain.''
Always spell out the word 'notable'. This is critical to help the anons who use the Bakertools javascript; they can just navigate right through the notables IF the word is spelled correctly.

'''4. Include article and video __TITLES__, not just links.'''
''Sauce on vids is usually sparse; try to include a date plus a short abstract.''

'''5. For tweets, __copypasta the text__ too, so the info gets into qresear.ch'''
''Qresear.ch is a great resource, but it's 100% text.''

'''6. DATES, DATES, DATES.'''
''Shills post old but jazzy news on purpose, then say 'clown baker' if notabled. Defeat this with dates.''

'''7. If post is part of an ongoing dig, __say the DIG name__ so it's gets notabled.'''
Don't assume the baker knows. An individual baker is not here 24/7 and they may not know.

'''8. Only got JPEGS on your Apple phone?''' Then __use text instead__ (links, title, date).

'''9.  Go to step 1.'''  Wash, rinse, repeat!
