Following up on the Development Hell new feature, now it's time to spotlight "Reviews". Here's the basics of the using this feature.
Maniac Reviews
If you would like to put up a review for a genre movie, novel, game, tv series, etc...Here's what you do. Let's say you would like to review the upcoming Final Fantasy game released recently...Go to mania.com, click on our Games section and near the top right of the screen(right underneath our green Mania links), you will see three white links labeled: Book Archives: Features link, News link, Reviews link
Click on the Reviews link. Look for a game review which matches up with the game(iin this case Final fantasy) review you're creating. Click on that mania review and pan down to the bottom and click on "Add Review"(near the bottom right of the article).
The "Add Review" submission process page will pop up on you. First, write out the details of the review. Your review title, your review summary, your review grade(Product review A+, A-, A, B+, B- etc etc)...Most importantly, I advise you to upload a Picture which corresponds with your review. Any picture relating to the subject matter will do. A clip of the product, the game's cover, anything you can find which matches up with the product you're reviewing.. In this case, a Final Fantasy picture of some kind. Once that's done, you're ready to either write out your review or copy/paste it*if you've already written it out elsewhere*.
Click on the submit process and it will go into the moderation que with a "Awaiting Mania moderation" icon next to your article. Once I log in, I'll read it to make sure it's appropriate(you know, not just a bunch of obscene trollish crap from a troll with a vendetta) and then upload it to the main site.
The review will then be ready to go on the main site, both on the main page and in the "Reviews" tab under Maniac Stuff. We already have three users from our forums who have graced the Review new feature in the manner of Slamshut, King Voyeur or Meathead so go check it out when you get a chance. What can I say, their reviews were good and humorous(we all know if Slam's involved).
Slamshut's reviews (http://www.mania.com/SlamShut/reviews/)
Meathead's reviews (http://www.mania.com/meathead/reviews/)
King Voyeur's reviews (http://www.mania.com/kingvoyeur/reviews/)
All current Maniac Reviews (http://www.mania.com/reviews.php)
This method of uploading Reviews is the same style as uploading Development Hell updates of your very own in basics. Except with Development Hell updates, please provide the correct source link in the submission process.
If you are having trouble uploading your review onto the mania.com site, let us know either by info@mania.com, post it here or pm me the details.
Talk to you folks later.
