Columnist are just like News Editors in that they have their own dedicated Column they write about and can edit. Columns are Syndicated and can be subscribed to by anyone on the web. We would like Columns such as: lawn and gardening, Travel, Financial advice and investing, Farming, Politics, Family living, Hunting, Fishing, and more.

We can create a Column for any member of this site who expresses an interest in a subject matter and who can write creative and useful content about the topic on a regular basis. Columns are MEANT to be very targeted to a specific area of interest and we will even go the extra Mile to build each columnist a very nice custom channel look and feel just for them.

Your Channel once setup for your articles can ONLY be edited by YOU. We can also setup sub channels within your channel IE: Fishing Channel for instance can have such as: Fishing/Videos, and or Fishing/Photos, etc etc.

In the event that you may wish to have someone else assist you with adding/managing content within your channel you should send us a PM Message stating that members username they use to login to this site and we can assign them co authoring rights at your channel.

Co Authors at YOUR channel can NOT EDIT or remove any content YOU may have added, and YOU can NOT edit/remove content the Co Author may have created within your channel. Content (postings) made within your channel can ONLY be further edited or removed by the original AUTHOR of that content (and or by us here as the main Admins of this site)..

Here is what we expect of any Columnist of their own channel:

• Keep your content Relevant to the channel topic
• As a channel owner you CAN do some light marketing for your business if you are a business owner, BUT; remember your channel is NOT MEANT to be all about your business but to provide information relevant to your topic and to provide valuable informative content to our sites readers
• Use the Proper areas of this site for Off Topic postings not related to your column!

We here at Fecn News have around some 60 other Domains/sites we personally own and operate. For Columnist who are doing an excellent job of publishing interesting, timely, and informative content within your channel, we will promote it for you within not only THIS SITE, but some of our other many domains and sites we manage.

We will also SHOW YOU HOW to market your channel on the web for potential Profits.

This tool is available ONLY to registered members, and ONLY when you are logged into this site! Although the above Fields ARE searchable by other members, Fields YOU have opted to HIDE from other members will not have that information viewable to any other member except yourself.

This tool is an ADDITIVE type of search. This simply means that IF you type a Keyword into all the fields, then all the keywords you entered WILL be searched. Keep it simple and just select one of the fields for best results!

This is a useful tool to help members FIND other members who hold similar Interests such as maybe a Fishing Buddy, Hunting Buddy, Poker or other card game Buddy, etc, etc..  Since this site is pretty geographically oriented for our membership bases, as time goes on it is pretty likely you CAN FIND someone in YOUR area with similar interests

Members may Add to their profiles by simply logging in and clicking on the Settings link near the top of this site! Members can choose to display OR HIDE most anything they include within their profiles. If you really like Fishing or Hunting you may wish to include those terms within your profile and allow other members to search for those terms. It is all up to you of course.

  If you are knowledgeable about Hunting, Fishing, Cooking out, Family life and Living, Training your KIDS (funny), Politics, Gardening, Religion, Home Improvements, or just about ANYTHING ELSE you can imagine, Why not have us create an article Column JUST FOR YOU... ONLY YOU can add content to your own Channel, and if your content is very GOOD, we will link directly up to it at many other high traffic sites across the Internet.

The way this site is setup is that adding content in many of the modules (forums, News, Articles, Even the Classifieds) automatically Syndicates that content via RSS News Feed syndication.. What this means is that ANYONE in the world CAN SUBSCRIBE to that news feed and READ your content without even being on this site.

Very powerful marketing methods are using which are pretty much automatic which of course makes for a nice incentive for you to advertise your Classifieds, Job listings, and other content right here FOR FREE! Being that this site is free we will accept Paid For advertising from local area businesses as they are relevant to this sites general policies and mission..

We KEEP ALL THINGS LOCAL for our community oriented web portals (such as this site) which means NO google ads, No Amazon com ads, no OTHER ads except for those businesses located within a NORMAL driving distance and areas where you would normally be able to GO TO and shop at their STORE..

Keep it simple (KISS) keep it LOCAL is the key to keeping YOUR community STRONG..

Because this site is Modular in design, it makes it very easy for you to be productive in your searches for various content types within this site. Each module is actually independently searchable and categorized for quick accurate results (which saves YOU time).

For a Generic ALL module search, all you need do is type in your search term or terms and click on Search.. Just that easy
Bear in mind words less than 4 charactors are NOT searchable (and, a, the, etc)

You MAY however get better and more accurate search results by clicking on the Enhanced Search icon per the example
which will bring up the following type of screen for you to be more selective.

See in the example above that we have opted to search for the phrase Realty Listings and to be selective in which areas of our site
we wish to search within so we have selected the Realty area of our site as an Exact Phrase. Now when we click on the Search
button above, we will ONLY be searching for those EXACT word and ONLY within the Realty section of the site

This can save YOU TIME and be more productive for you overall.  You can broaden your search withn a module of course by opting
to type in your Keywords/Phrase in some of the other fields other than the Exact Phrase field of course which will broaden out
your possible search results a bit if you are unsure of just what the Exact Phrase should be.

You can also use this method to search JUST FOR all the postings, or Classifieds, Forums, or other, a MEMBER of this site has added
by typing in their member name (if you know it).

Printing out web pages or even sections of a web site is not the same as doing print jobs from your word processor. The pages never seem to come out as you expect and even pages which LOOK like they would fit onto a single sheet of paper often do not.

Making single page printouts of Classifieds, Realty Listings, Job Postings, and other such content is important to your contents viewers. It is also important should you wish to POST your ads at local Bulletin Boards, as Hand Outs, or other such marketing methods as a 2 page spread simple does NOT CUT it with most people (and it is much more expensive for YOU to print as well).

We ASK OUR ad placers creating Classifieds at this site to create their ads in a certain fashion, and use Photos or images of a certain SIZE range not to be a PIA for them, but to HELP THEM as well as their ads viewers to make nice easy Printouts for more effective Marketing for your ad placements at our site..

Many Classifieds at this site simply will NOT FIT onto a single sheet of paper when printed regardless of how well the ad placer has followed our rules and guidelines. A lot of people do not know that for pages which are ONLY SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN A SINGLE SHEET OF PAPER, it is likely they can simply SCALE that page on down a little bit and it will still look very nice and WILL PRINT on a single sheet of paper.

Many people do have printers which make it easy for them to automatically SCALE a page DOWN a bit, many do NOT, still others MAY have such, but do not know how to use the feature. With all this in mind below is a way to do this task which should work for the majority of internet viewers today of your classified ads wihtin our system.

For the purposes of this short inline Tutorial on printing pages, we use one of our Sample Realty Listings I created to help our viewers SEE what they can do at this site. I use this as an example as it contains some 5 photos and a Virtual Tour so it will be one of the LARGER type Classifieds with all that in the ad.

http://a1a-classifieds.com/e107_plugins/r_classifieds/realtyads.php?0.item.2.2.1 This is the Sample we are going to show you..

Okay, first step of course is to bring UP the classified you are interested in making a print out of. In the example below once you are displaying
the ad, you will wish to click on the little Printer Friendly icon such as shown below.....

NOW that you have clicked the printer friendly page icon, you will be on the well - Printer Friendly PAGE for that classified ad.
IF YOU KNOW that page is NOT going to print out on a single sheet of paper (and you need it to do so), simply select

the File option along the left, then scroll on down the drop down list to Print Preview and select it.

Okay now we are in the Print Preview Screen as shown below...

This is an easy way to make YOUR classifieds FIT onto a single printed page (as long as the classified is NOT TOO LARGE).
For ads which are very long, scaling the page down a bit will make it hard to read so keep em to the point, short, and relevant

--

What you CAN do however is create a LINK to ALL your classifieds within your postings in the Forums, news, Members Articles, Blogs, and other areas within our site.  The method shown below not only works within this site, but also works equally as well at ANY WEB SITE anywhere you are allowed to post Links or other content including Twitter, Facebook, or any other site ...

The code shown in our Popup Code Window below will add a link linking up to ALL YOUR classifieds in our General, Business, Autos, Realty, Boats, Personals Classifieds, and any Job Postings you have created or WILL create in the future at this site. Very powerful way to get the word out if you use it correctly and wisely.

Open the Code Page Here

IF you follow this protocol, you will have good success with your ads here. 

Remember - We DO have a video tutorial which shows you the proper way to create Classifieds as well as adding content in the Forums and other sections of this site. To view the tutorial go to: http://palatka-florida.com/news/page.php?105

Look it up.. It is called the NAU (North American Union) President George W Bush had drafted and signed into agreement with Canada and Mexico back in 2003. The NAU in reality will dissolve the USA totally including the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights (almost gone anyway), and even our Currency the US Dollar.  The New Currency has already been printed ' The Amero' for some time now and will be the Official Currency for the NAU.

All of this has been happening in the shadows behind closed doors while America has been asleep. The national news media of our day KNOW ALL about these things and have actually been helping to get them done in the shadows by helping to keep all these things OUT of the light of day until what they feel 'The time is right' to see to it that they are fully divulged and made public..

Sooo what you can do now as a patriot is to keep on doing what you have been doing already, Watch the national News Media and BUY from their sponsors (as that is how they keep in business), Keep Praising GWB for all the great things he has been up to during his terms in office, and keep voting for the lesser of two evils just as you have been doing since you can remember.

Let us keep up the good work we have been so diligent with in the past because surely we all realize the truth in the old adage 'If you want to get the same things tomorrow you are getting today, keep doing the same things tomorrow you are doing now' - Nothing changes, if nothing changes!

Sometime soon, the nations headlines in the national News Media sources (which have been keeping important things from you for decades now) WILL have to tell the story of How and Why the Bill of rights, and the Constitution are Illegal and that in fact you and your children ARE NOW and have always been slaves in America and how we have in fact Demanded our own Slavery.. Review our nations History and some of the resources listed below but be prepared to forget everything you THOUGHT you ever knew about this nation the IRS, our Banking Industry and at what lengths our leaders are willing to take things in order to meet their own agendas and plans for us all.

You all should also read up a bit more about our nations History (especially recent), the rights we have already lost as citizens, and the ones we are about to loose because we all have told our leaders that we simply do not care! You can get a good jump start with a history lesson at http://americasbillofrights.com/news 

Here within the pages of this online News and information portal, we do not sugar coat todays important news like the 'National News Media' corporate owned and controlled Goliaths!  Check out the Scott Loper story below for more insight as to WHY it is such a BAD idea for a One World Government scenario to ever take place.

You may wish to review a bit MORE about our proposed Presidential Candidates, and what is in store for us ALL UNLESS we all demand serious CHANGE! WHY here in America should we EVER have to choose the lesser of two evils in the greatest nation on Earth is beyond understanding and common sense... Let us choose NOT to select Devil number one or devil number two but choose to open the THIRD DOOR..
