Posting DoTA2 Blog News

---

I felt it'd be necessary to post the formatte for reporting Valve blog updates. Sometimes we may not be on during the general hours that the blog is released or there will be a delay on the blog release and we might need someone to type up the blog for it to be stickied to the front page without delay when our Community Manager or Moderator log in. You can find the Valve blogs at Blog.DoTA2.com and report them to the Dotafire News Forum.

All text within the double parentheses are to be replaced along with the double parentheses when updating them with the proper information. Make sure to follow similar formatting guidelines as the official blog post, such as hyperlinks and colored text as well as symbols and indents. When editing your post any copied material from the official blog post will change any symbols to an out of format text, such as arrows and apostrophes becoming a slew of random symbols. Proper spacing might be needed as using coding does not allow me to show the spacing. The thread should be titled as follows: DoTA 2 Blog ((Month Printed)) - ((Day Digits)) - ((Four Digit Year Number)) Examples of a proper post: April 29, 2014 February 5, 2014 Code: [center][h2][color=#ff0000]((Blog Title))[/color][/h2] [url=((Blog Link))]((Blog Publish Date)) - Dota Team[/url][/center] [columns] [nextcol width=125] [nextcol width=500] ((General Body Text)) [center] [url=((Larger Image Link))][img]((Preview Image Link))[/img][/url][/center] ((Footer Body Text)) [nextcol width=125] [/columns]
