The first line of the article?

Post by closetfolkie »

My first article needs an edit. In the words of the editor: "The first line of the article must always be the exact title"
Not sure I understand what this means. The article has to open with the title? My article is: "How to Throw Your Own Oktoberfest Party". Not sure why such an article would begin with those words. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting the editor's comment. Anyone have any words of guidance?
Thanks in advance.

They didn't used to require it, and I don't know if it's all editors but this one wants you to put the title as the first line of the article. I never did it before until I got this kickback. I guess it makes it easier for the customer when he downloads the article and needs to copy/paste the content.

You mean by having the title simply pasted in as a header in the body of the article?

Yes, just include the title at the top of the page just like you would if you were typing a document. If you look at recently approved articles, you should see the same thing.
