So, you've registered on the site and now آپ want to add some content to your پسندیدہ spots. The vast majority of the stuff on fanpop is in the form of لنکس which point to content in other places, whether they are articles, galleries, videos, games, یا any other sort of content آپ can find online.
Check before آپ add!
Any time that آپ are about to add content to Fanpop, آپ should check first to make sure that the content isn't already linked from the site (at least not in the same spot). The web site will tell آپ if آپ attempt to کرائیں جمع the exact same ایل آر یو as already exists in a spot, but your check needs to be مزید thorough than that. If, for instance, آپ want to link to a video of گٹار legend link performing on stage in New York, آپ need to do a تلاش such as "link". If آپ get no matching results, you're probably safe. But if آپ get a match within the same spot, آپ need to check it to make sure it isn't the same video from a different source. Not to harp on videos, because the same thing is possible with images. Just to be clear, different ویڈیوز of the same thing are OK (say, screen recordings of different people fighting the same boss battle in a video game); آپ just really want to avoid duplicating the exact same video of the same thing (say, linked from YouTube when a link to the same video on Guba is already present), which is really easy to do in video-heavy spots such as the link and link spots. A simple check should suffice, and helps to protect آپ from the inevitable پرستار complaints that آپ have duplicated content that would come up otherwise. Once you've done this check, you're ready to add a link.
Adding a link
There are two specialized buttons to add different kinds of لنکس on the site: آپ can "add video" یا "add link". Regardless of which type of link آپ wish to add, there are really just two ways to add a link to a spot on fanpop, what I think of as the basic method and the advanced method. The differences are minor; ultimately, آپ are presented with a form to fill out with information about the link.
اگلے is the actual URL for the content. Once آپ paste یا type in that URL, the system will do a simple check to a) make sure that the ایل آر یو is valid, and b) that the ایل آر یو doesn't exactly match an existing link in the same spot.
If you're submitting a video link (or if you're using the advanced method, below), you'll اگلے have the option of checking a box (multipart video) to specify that آپ are linking to a video in multiple parts. Some video sites put restrictions on how long their ویڈیوز can be, so longer pieces tend to be تقسیم, الگ کریں into many different ویڈیوز which, when watched in the correct sequence, nearly recreate the original piece. The multipart video feature allows آپ to link to all the parts of such a video with one form, rather than creating many لنکس (one for each such part). Observant fanpop users can still find multiple, separate but related video لنکس on the site which were uploaded long before the multipart video feature was implemented.
After the multipart video feature (if present) is the text box for the description of the link: here's where آپ provide a detailed تفصیل of what the link is. While it isn't required, this field is your opportunity to provide helpful information to the other fans, and also to "sell" your link - inclining other people to click on it to see what it is after they've found your link. Everyone is strongly encouraged to provide a detailed تفصیل for all of their links.
Finally, after the تفصیل comes the keywords field. The الفاظ مطلوبہ are very important - these determine whether your link will be found in a site تلاش یا not, as the الفاظ مطلوبہ are دیا priority in searches over words in the description. So, if آپ have الفاظ مطلوبہ that match a fan's تلاش terms, your link will appear in the تلاش results before لنکس that have matches to the تلاش terms in the description. آپ may enter up to ten words یا phrases (each one in the فہرست should be separated سے طرف کی a comma) in the الفاظ مطلوبہ field. It's better to have مزید الفاظ مطلوبہ than fewer, as الفاظ مطلوبہ are so vital for تلاش to work in finding your content.
When you've finished entering information into all of these fields, click the "submit" button to add your link. آپ will either get an error message describing a problem and what آپ need to do to solve it, یا confirmation that your link has been کیا پیش successfully.
Now, for a brief تفصیل of the two methods:
Adding links: the Basic Method
The basic method is to find content that آپ like on a web site, copy the ایل آر یو for that content into your computer's clipboard, then go to a separate web browser window یا tab to load the desired spot on fanpop (if آپ didn't have it up already) and submitting the form to add the link. The advantage of this method is that آپ have a window open on fanpop separate from the window آپ are using to browse the rest of the web, so that it's easy to do the searches آپ need to do to avoid duplicating لنکس without disrupting whatever else you're doing online. The disadvantage is that this method is مزید time-consuming.
Adding links: the Advanced Method
The advanced method is to use the "Add to Fanpop" bookmarklet (link) to jump to fanpop and add a link from your current browser window.
Myself, while I mostly take the time to use the basic method, I have the "Add to Fanpop" bookmarklet on all my browsers and use it with some frequency on my 'higher volume' spots (that is, the spots to which I add content مزید regularly).
Adding لنکس to your profile
If آپ wish to ترمیم your پروفائل to فہرست one یا مزید لنکس under such headings as "Favorite TV Show," "Favorite Musician," "Favorite Movie," یا "Favorite Book," go to your پروفائل first.
Then click "Edit Profile."
In the resulting page, you'll see many form fields to edit. The section آپ want is section 2, called "2. Fun Stuff About You." Each of the items (favorite book, TV show, film and musician) is listed in a separate field. Put the link یا لنکس آپ want to add using the text formatting link in the section "Inserting Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)," with a comma separating each one.
Once you've done all the edits, make sure to click the "Submit" button on your ترمیم پروفائل page to save your changes.
That's it!
