How do I enter news for the site?

The news system of this website is using RSS aggregation. For your news to show up correctly on the front page, please follow these steps:

1. Create a new page by typing the title into the browser URL in the following format: http://wiki.affectivegaming.info/bbi/News/YYYY-MM-DD/TYPE/NAME, where YYY-MM-DD should be changed to the date of the news (for example for May 12, 2010, you would type: 2010-05-12). TYPE should be one of the following: CFP, JOB, or ANNOUNCE. NAME is a short title of your news call, for which you have no restrictions, but the title should ideally be less than 255 characters long.
2. Click on the Create link
3. In the text editing box, add the categories [[Category:News]] and [[Category:YYYY/MM]], where YYYY is the year (e.g., 2010) and MM is the month (e.g., 05, so it would be [[Category:2010/05]] for this example).
