This is an excerpt from a NCDA Brand Identity Guidebook that is being put together. Its purpose is to establish a common base of how the NCDA could operate in various mediums. The forum is one of the easiest places to store this running tally. It also gives members the ability to submit input on to what the NCDA is and where it's going, so feel the freedom to comment.
NCDA Internet Identity Guidelines > Website > Articles
Articles - Version 0.2
Note:
This except works to handle feed articles presented on the NCDA site, and is a very simple and rough cut. As we try to keep things uniform while developing a common identity among the many writers, this is likely to change and be further refined.
Results
Article starts with a single line dictating the location, teams, and results, and OT if applicable.
MUNICIPALITY-Gym: Winning def Losing X-X [OT] in [Event Name] or by default, [Team's NamedGym]
CHICAGO-Solheim: MBI def DePaul 3-2 OT in the Battle of the Brown Line.
LEXINGTON-Alumni: UK def WKU 3-1 in the Alumni Gym.

MUNICIPALITY-Gym: Article starts...
CHICAGO-Solheim: The Battle of the Brown Line will be held...
Team Logo Use
If an author needs to use a team logo, they have the easy option of using the standard team logo. All these logos have the advantage of the common size of 250x150.
All the Upcoming and Member Team logos are hosted in the images folder, which is accessible in a server index page. They should be inserted by using the URL, and not uploaded to the server. Adding media to WordPress would result in two files on the server and an unnecessary increase in space.
Example:
ncdadodgeball.com/images/team_logo.png
ncdadodgeball.com/images/wku_logo.png
'More' Tags
Using the More tag separates the article into multiple pages or sections, which a user can click to show more of the article. Long articles, more than a couple sentences or paragraphs, should include a More tag. Template requires this to be viewed properly.
