Check:

  • spelling
  • terminology
  • punctuation
  • grammar
  • Paragraphs. For an unknown reason, for pasting into the web site posts, between paragraphs, we need an extra, empty paragraph.
  • It seems that when people translate English double quotation marks to French, they somehow convert them to two apostrophes or single quotation marks instead of guillements « (Alt+174) and » (Alt+175), respectively.

  • Hyperlinks. For hyperlinks if there is an available French link, include it. The hyperlink that is provided will be used.
  • Graphics. We use a plugin to automatically reduce uploaded graphics to maximum 1024 x 1024. For newsletter and event posts, the main image is the featured image. The optimum aspect ratio is 1200 x 628
