TRAVEL AND VACATION NEWS...

To post an item onto our InTheNews feed, you will log into our VRN account at Enfeedia as Freelancer using the link at the bottom of this column.

- For Account Name, use "vacationrentals".

- For Freelance Password, use the password you were assigned when you set up your VRN membership.

Once you log in, click either the "Re-Post Item" or "Edit Item" button to proceed to selecting our InTheNews feed and then posting your item.

Keep this in mind: Whether you re-post item or edit item, you are modifying the "item spot" on InTheNews that we consign to you. Re-posting the contents of an item spot gives you a clean slate for entering new content (with some hints), whereas editing an item gives you a form with the current contents of that item pre-filled out to simplify your editing process.

When you re-post item with new content, that item is considered to be "new" and is posted as the most current item on InTheNews. When you edit item, it is not treated as new, so that item retains its position in InTheNews.

In either case, you have the option to Autolog your item to another feed. Please read the inset on this page to the right to learn about Autologging.

After you complete your posting, you can close the window and return to VRN. On our home page, you will see your posting after a brief delay.

How to Use AutoLogging

In the process of posting your item onto InTheNews, you will be given the option to simultaneously and automatically "log" your item as-is onto another feed for which you have access privileges. Typically, that other feed is one you created in an Enfeedia account of your own. But it could be a feed in someone else's account for which they gave you access.

How is access gained? By having the Editor Password for that feed. The owner of the account -- perhaps you -- assigns an Editor Password to the feed for this purpose. When you post an item onto InTheNews, you use that Editor Password along with the Account Name and Feed Name to which you wish to log your posting.

If you choose to log an item, the title for the item that's posted on InTheNews will link to your log feed, and the title of that logged item will link to the webpage address you entered as Item Link. Thus, using Autologging, a curious visitor that clicks on your featured posting on InTheNews will then see your listing of all featured postings. You need not log every item when you post on InTheNews, it's your choice.

There is no VRN membership requirement to use Autologging or to have an account of your own on Enfeedia. Should you want to use Autologging, the "Publisher" membership is required at Enfeedia to create a feed which includes the Editor posting feature. VRN uses the Editor feature to gain permission for posting items onto that feed.
