Format Style for Content of News and Solution Pages
Note: large portions of articles should not be copied and pasted as that might be a violation of copyright, only that which can be considered "fair use", such as two or three paragraphs.
1st Choice: edit source
=====Headline in Here=====
[URL of target page either external or internal (space) Name of Site Name of Author Date]
A paragraph or two which gets to the heart of the article. It should have one space indent at the beginning. Wiki will create a paragraph box look as you see in the sample below. It can have no other formatting for this to work properly.
Now, new research is highlighting another threat: Since 2000, moist and warm tendrils of air known as atmospheric rivers have been swirling toward the coast more frequently, bringing more rain and surface melting. Antarctica has been losing about 250 billion tons of ice annually in recent years, and research shows the rate has increased sixfold since 1979. At this pace, researchers have suggested, West Antarctica's ice shelves may reach climate tipping points and crumble, sending sea level rise surging well beyond current projections.
2nd Choice: using "embed"
Note: embed should be used sparingly as it can slow down the entire site if an embedded image is too large.
Headline in Here
A url is placed right between "<embed>" and "</embed>" with a space before and after. '
A Site Title, Autohor, Date is next.
Simply copy this: <embed> </embed> Click on "edit" in the menu at the top of this page then paste it where you wanted it and then paste your URL in the space between.
Then include the source and date after the </embed>
A paragraph or two which gets to the heart of the article. It should have one space indent at the beginning. Wiki will create a paragraph box look as you see in the sample below. It can have no other formatting for this to work properly.
Note: this first method will return an error (for The New Yorker) or not display properly for some sites. In which case this 2nd method should be used.
Sharing Links
Link from custom search engine
Use the url of the custom search engine, followed by "&q=" and then followed by the desired search term/s.

Display Ad Options
Option #1 Righthand thumbnail. This is the preferred option for most low cost ads. It adds some eye candy to the page yet doesn't interfere with the main reading content. Sample: [[File: Brutsche Niacmentes.jpg|thumb|120px|link=https://artappeal.store/|Sponsor-ArtAppeal.store]] Sponsor-ArtAppeal.store Estimated starting price while website has low traffic; $10 per month.
Option #2 Embedded ad. This would fit across the entire page and would be hard to avoid. This would be our more expense ad option which could be used at times on a limited number of pages.
Option #3 A page designated specifically to ads.
