The summary will comprise the post, as it appears in the Weblog, and should provide enough information to allow readers to decide if they want to open the attachment and read the contents. The summary will be inline when the UKB site is searched internally, or, when it is presented to external search engines e.g. Google. For this reason the summary should also include a list of keywords that communicate to readers, and search engines, the subject areas that the post covers.<\/p>\n<p>The attachment should be written in <em>Portable Document Format<\/em> (PDF), as the first choice, to allow as many readers as possible access to the files. Alternatively a <em>Microsoft<\/em> word processing program can be used.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information on QuickPost attachments refer to: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amibroker.org\/userkb\/2007\/08\/06\/quick-posting-example-pdf-attachment\/\">UKB &gt;&gt; PDF Attachment<\/a>&nbsp;or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amibroker.org\/userkb\/2007\/08\/01\/quick-post-example\/\">UKB &gt;&gt; Word Attachment<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Writing A Post Summary<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After updating <em>Your Profile<\/em> <em>and<\/em> <em>Personal Options<\/em> click on <em>Write <\/em>to open the <em>Write Panel, <\/em>with the <em>Code Editor<\/em> as the default.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Editing Window,<\/em> which occupies the major portion of the screen space,&nbsp;functions like a simple word processor.
