User Info:
Here please add your name, company, official website, things about you, your artwork or your festival... Information will appear on the right column of your videoblog.

Step 2: Add Content
Click on the Create Content link top left.
You can add different type of content on your videoblog: Text, Video, Pictures, Audio and links to your other sites.
If you are looking for visibility you must also register your festival or your artwork in the database, which will be automatically listed to our Festival Directory or to our Artwork Library.
Your registration is linked to your blog, both can be accessible and edited with your login details.

All options to add content are also on the left column and you can consult the help pages if you have problems adding your content.

For a festival blog for instance, add:

- Your Mission Statement
- Past award winners
- Press Release
- Some pictures with ambiance, the festival poster,
- The Festival trailer, a few videos...  
- The call for entry (select the call for entry channel when publishing) You can also add the submission form as a separate file to your festival registration.

For a Artwork blog for instance, add:

- presentation of your work, artist bio, productions, notes, festival circuit
- video
- pictures, poster

Recent  and prolific and interesting contributors are promoted on the home page.

Steps 3: Promote your Videoblog
A few tips to improve your visibility on DigitalArti and Google:

- Publish original content. Add regularly new content; for example, update your blog once a week

- Use title that describes your content well, choose category for your content and add tags (ie words describing the content).

- For Video, Pictures and Audio files that you upload, it's better to name them video_elektra_festival than video090998980 for example. It also helps search engines.

- Use our special promotion offers and make sure to promote your Festival and your Artwork

- Share your content on Digg, Delicious, or on social network like Facebook, Netvibes, Myspace, Twitter... Use your RSS to republish automatically on your other blogs.

- Create your own widget to promote your content or general festival content on various websites...

- Add a link to your blog on your other websites, on digital or blog's directories, on the websites of your partners...

- Add your Videoblog on your press releases
