Step 3:
The fields with the stars next to them are the ones that MUST be filled out in order to submit a Press Release. The first Required field is the Headline. This is what should appear on the front page of your http://floridaattractions.org website, so make sure to choose an interesting title. In the body, this is where the majority of your press release should go. The best way to submit a Press Release is to have it already typed out in a program such as Microsoft Word and then copying and pasting into Notepad to remove Word tags, then directly into the body. Standard tools are available for formatting. You can even attach documents, such as a PDF, add images, or even insert multimedia.
The Source field is important, because it tells the user where you are submitting this information from.
Step 4:
Don’t forget to hit submit! Your Press Release is now finished, and tag clouds should appear as underlined words that you should see afterwards. Tag clouds are words people can use in search engines to find your Press Release! Your story will also appear as a link on the front page of the website.
