Welcome to UnNews[edit source]
I just did your manual of Life article for audio. Not bad for a start. Please keep them coming.

On your knees, worthy one! The Right Reverend Major Sir Zim_ulator blesses you. Your blessings are increasing exponentially. In the name of Sophia, the Church of Uncyclopedia and the Universal Church Triumphant of the Apathetic Agnostic, kneel and receive the melding of Zim's holy axe and your wetware. Now go write me a good UnNews article. Cheers! |
the important stuff about UnNews articles[edit source]
Welcome to UnNews, and thank you for contributing some crap. For a very quick introduction to the ins and outs, please take 30 seconds to read Help:How to write an UnNews article. Please note that proper formatting of an articles title has only the first word (after UnNews:) and proper nouns capitalized. The second offense of this cardinal rule gets your ass banned. Heh, just kidding... maybe.
Also, a perusal of HowTo:Tune up an UnNews article may help you sink to the average level of UnNews mediocrity, and go on to fame, fortune, and celebrity. Cheers!
Prototype: how to do an unnews audio[edit source]
Note: this crap is a work in progress
As for doing the UnNews Audio Perpendicular Mambo, first you'll need software to record sound files on your computer. I currently use Cakewalk Sonar, but many other applications such as the freeware Audacity, or other commercial applications like Steinberg's Cubase and Pro Tools Digital Audio Workstation will be great.
Having that in place, there ar UnNews jingle files you can download, and add to your files here:
- http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Image:UnNews_Jingle_British.mp3
- http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Image:UnNews_Jingle_American.MP3
You'll need to upload your final audio file in mp3 format.
Once uploaded, you'll need to tag the article you've read like this
- {{UnNewsAudio|Your_soundfile_name.mp3}}.
Next, go to this page http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Template:FrontPageMediaMenuBeta, add your file with pointer and file size arranged like this:
- Your_soundfile_name.mp3|article_title|<file size>KB|
The file size information can be found on the info page of the audio which you've uploaded.
The procedure for setting up your file for podcast is a secret freemason thingy which Olipro and I currently manage. I'm around almost daily, so I look for new audio files to delete fix, or whatever. If you get hung up with any of these steps, let me know, or alternately check out #unnews and #uncyclopedia on IRC. Cheers!
[Image ...][edit source]
Thanks for adding the illustration to today's UnNews. But after [Image: ...] or [File: ...] you must press the Enter key (insert a hard RETURN) or the following paragraph gets rendered incorrectly. I fixed this one. Spıke ¬ 22:22 14-Mar-11
