We've made some changes to the way stories are created on NowPublic and added some new features to help you do more with your material.

Watch this video to find out more about the changes. To comment or ask questions please visit the Forum Post in the Newsroom.

Here are some of the most important upgrades you'll notice when you come to write a story:

when you want to add tags to your story, we'll suggest popular tags as well as location tags, to help other people find your stories more easily
as you write a story, you can discover and link to other related stories on NowPublic
you can now customise the layout of your story, deciding how photos and videos are displayed, and adding other new elements such as quotes, comments and RSS feeds.

I would have liked some more details and a lay out of the basics and most important Things to be used as reference tool as well. Like Copy rights, NP guide lines and rules, futures and of course what is acceptable as a post and what is not, the parameters so to speak.

I can't seem to see the video. Just a blank spot at the bottom of the story.

"you can now customise the layout of your story, deciding how photos and videos are displayed, and adding other new elements such as quotes, comments and RSS feeds."

Great idea! Facebook has had this feature for some time now and the layout is like in print.
