Surprise: Back to the Roots – How to Write Your Own cVillain Article

We’ve spent a lot of time trying to tackle the whole security thing and guess what… WE’VE FINALLY DONE IT! Special thanks to our tech guru who tackled the problem for us. Now we can finally let you write articles without emailing them to us.

What does this mean?

We’ve re-enabled the write functionality for you. Log in and test it out. Let us know what you think.

Some of you probably can’t see the “Write” tab once you are logged in. Email us and we will fix it right away. We think we converted most of your accounts.

How do I log in and write?

- Easy, just start by clicking login on the top right of the screen.

How to Log In #1

- Enter your user name and password. You need to register your user name if you haven’t already.

How to Log In #2

- Write away….Click “Submit for Review” when you are done so that we know you are ready to publish.

How to Write in Wordpress

Rules for writing:

- We won’t publish everything. It is highly unlikely that we will publish anything that sounds advertorial.

- Send in direct links to videos you want included. We have to do a little magic to get them to work.

- Link to picture or email pictures to gossip@cvillain.com. You can’t take pictures from other websites unless they have a creative commons license.

- No self-promotions.

- Have fun and if you have any questions, let us know.

    The will of the cvillain tribe has been subverted and you want us to contribute to it’s ongoing mission? I will consider this an improvement when no counting, lazy, non mascot naming admins do the right thing and end this cvillain trifle.

    So, what’s the difference? It doesn’t seem that this makes it any easier for me to write stuff. I still have to go through the scrutiny of admins. Is this the internet or not?

      We’ve got the election coming up soon (Nov 3rd), a pretty monster methamphetamine & cocaine bust from a week ago, and the ongoing RICO case for $20 million bills.
