Here are some things I noticed.

Can't include images in articles! (BTW, you can embed
YouTube video on WoIndy right now, give it a try.)

These guys use basically the same theme that
WorcesterActivist.org is now using.

These guys have another stripped-down
article form. If you're familiar with Drupal,
you can include pix in articles, but you have
to resize them.

You get to add one photo to the article.
They imply that you can add multimedia
files, but I don't see how. Some of the French
instructions might explain it.

Another one where you can add images if
you know what you're doing.

>Santa Barbara

You get one photo.

Looking at these was a pretty good excercise.

* The "Publish" link should be the #1 most visible
thing on our site.

* The submissions form should have good explanations
of what the different parts do.
