A Pinkbike blog is a way of creating an article that can be shared more widely with the Pinkbike community. After publishing, you can send your blog to Pinkbike editors who can review your content and publish it to a larger audience.
Here are the steps on creating and editing a Pinkbike blog entry:
1. First, log into Pinkbike and click on your username to open up the dropdown.
2. Select 'Blog.'
3. Add content, links, and other content.
4. To center, justify, or align content within your article, see 'Aligning Text' below.
5. To add mentions, see 'Adding Mentions' below.
6. To add photos or videos from Pinkbike, those photos and videos must be previously added to Pinkbike. Navigate to the photo or video content you wish to add, and copy + paste the ID number of the content when hitting 'Add Photo' or 'Add Video' within your Pinkbike blog entry.
7. To add photos or videos from a different source, navigate to the embed source code, and add the embed code to your blog post.
8. You may need to adjust your frame width to 800 pixels x 450 pixels to ensure that the video is at a good size for the blog post.
9. Click on 'Blog' page and go to 'Drafts.'
10. Click on 'Publish' to have your post go live.
11. If you wish to send your post to the Pinkbike editors, you can click on 'Send to PB editors.'
12. Choose the region you wish to send the story to, and click 'Submit Story.'

Here is a video that shows you How to Create a Pinkbike Blog.
Note: the functionalities shown in the video may differ slightly from the UX offered in the app and website today. Trailforks has undergone a number of release updates, and if you have kept your Trailforks app up-to-date, you should see a more updated version of many of these functions shown in the video. We have kept the video up on our help center as it still serves to show users the many features that Trailforks offers!
