WeChat’s voice mail and messaging service means it has replaced SMS and a lot of phone calls. From a reader experience, both WeChat and Weibo are far and away better than Twitter – you can put all kinds of content on them (videos, gifs, whatever) and they’re easier to organise (you don’t need a Tweetdeck equivalent). “micro blog”) is completely public – anything you post can be be seen by anyone. The other big Chinese social media platform, Sina’s Weibo (微博 wēi bó lit. “micro message”) is a Chinese social media platform which kind of fills the role of Twitter****, except that messages are not public: Only those people that you have accepted as followers can see your posts. The only difference to a feature post is that the cover image (the one that goes in the “navigation” post summary) is a 200x200px square. These work in exactly the same way, to add a secondary article just click on the “+” under the cover image for the feature article on the left: So if it was old media, the big post at the top would be like the “cover feature”, and the secondary articles would be little articles inside the paper/magazine. You can also publish articles that will appear below the feature in the Post Summary (navigation), sometimes called “secondary” articles in Chinese (二级 èr jí) looking like this on your phone: So all of what we just did there is the equivalent of a “feature article”. Note that you can’t publish or even preview a post if there are only images – you have to have some text in the body of the post, even if it’s just a “.”. The means that when your Public Account post gets forwarded as a weixin, people who haven’t found you yet will be able to subscribe and find your shop.īefore you actually publish the post, you can preview it on a phone by clicking this Preview (预览 yù lǎn) button, then entering a phone number. Very important to put your QR codes (二维码 èr wéi mǎ) at the end of the post. You can upload and insert multiple files at a time, and then drag them around to put them in the right order (just like Tumblr).

Quick tip: If you’re writing a series of posts that could be categorised under different themes, you can change the name of the author to your category, so for example “Jason’s Recipes”, “Jason’s Film Reviews” etc. Okay, now to write the actual post… Fill in the author, whatever body text and add media by clicking the buttons on the left. If you’re publishing all your text as images, you’ll have to fill this in of course. A post must have a cover image you won’t be allowed to publish otherwise.įor the text summary you can either write one yourself, or if you don’t WeChat will take an excerpt of the first 54 characters of the post and use that. And note that the title will be covering the bottom of the image. So better to use 900×400 pixels*** (it won’t be stretched). Note that they recommend an image of 900×500 pixels, but on the phones we tried that meant the image was actually cropped top and bottom. If you tick the box underneath, the cover image will also be published at the start of the actual post (封面图片显示在正文中). the image that will appear with the Post Summary, can either be uploaded (本地上传) or taken from a media library of images you’ve already uploaded (从图片库选择). Then scroll down to the very bottom of the pages and you’ll see this: First write the post title in the central column (it will automatically appear on the left column). So to start with we’re going to create this Post Summary. You click through one of these post summaries to see the actual post. Once you click through one of those subscriptions, you get the screen on the right, which is a list of published posts, this is the “navigation” they’re talking about – you get a picture, a title, and a brief summary of the post in these little white boxes, and you can scroll through a long list of them**. So on your WeChat app on your phone, you’ll have a list of Public Accounts that you’re subscribed to, which looks like the screen on the left: The bit on the left is the “navigation” (图文导航 túwén dǎoháng) by which they mean a post summary. Once you’ve logged on to your WeChat Public Account, go to Content Management (素材管理 sù cái guǎn lǐ) and then click the button on the right to Add New Post (新建图文消息 xīn jiàn tú wén xiāo xi).Īs written above, the central column is the actual post. This has two advantages: You can control the design, so that everyone sees the same thing, and it is much more difficult for others to steal your content.ġ. Note that we’ve found the best way is to put all your content laid out in a series of 740 x 1136px jpegs*, text and images.
You should have all your content (text, images) ready to post.
