“…The worth of souls is great in the sight of God.” ~Doctrine and Covenants 18:10
Right now I am going to focus on what I can say and do to help and serve others. I will do what I can to help you while I am still able. So I dub myself Big Sister of O. Here you can reach me as a big sister if I am needed and do not find a post that answers question.
***You may leave your questions in the comments for on my first post***
I already have a post about the basics of posting on a world...but here is a post on making a world so you can post! (well the article is more specifically stories, but you can use it for posting other things too)
Well, the Worlds are nice because you can make a few to organize your things (like opinions, stories, videos, clubs, etc) however you'd like to. I believe that regular members (vs. premium accounts) can have up to 5. Then there's also guest posting too, but we'll cover that later ^^
So after you decided how you want your world(s) to be, go to your back room and on the navigation bar, move your mouse over "Worlds" and select "Create World"
Line 1: World Title
What you want the world to be called, for example I have this world called "Big Sister" and that's how it shows up on my portfolio
Line 2: World URL
A URL is the web address, TheO already provides a good portion of it, you just need to put the rest of it *note, avoid spaces and periods etc.* in the box I just added "bigsis" so the address for this page you will note is the TheO address/bigsis
Line 3: One Line Description
This will be something to explain whats on the world for people looking up worlds to see, like for this world I would say, "A World where people can get help from a sister, covering all sorts of problems as presented."
Line 4: Category (optional)
Do you have a site dedicated to a particular anime, it's good to mention that here if you want people of similar interest to find your world 
Line 5: Tags (optional)
Another good thing to put themes in like 'fanfic' or a specific character or characters that will be in the post on the site ^^ Just another tool for people to find you!
Line 6: Open to
Everyone, Members Only, Friends Only, Just Me
That's pretty self-explanatory, you choose who can read your posts!
(woah, you mean I could have a personal journal on-line that's only for me?!)
click Create World under that and TA DA! Congrats you have a world!
You can begin posting now, but here are some other World options you have:
{note, first you'll be asked which world before going on to the page with the selected option}
"Modify World"
If you want to change anything you did in the previous step. The layout is the same as the create world page, but there is also a DELETE FOREVER DANGER box you can click and hit Edit World. If you do that, I suggest you move any posts on it that you want to save to another world first!
"Introductions"
Write down what you want on the top of your world before your post begin
A good idea is to explain what your world will be about ^^
You may have up to 1 video and 1 image in your introduction using the codes they give you with the : in the box you're typing the intro in and loading them below the box you type the message in.
Click "Edit Introduction" when you're done.
"Edit Guest Posters"
That's right, you can allow other people to post on your worlds! Go to the world you want and add the member's username, one name per line.
Hit the update button underneath and then those people will be allowed to guest post on that world of yours!
"Edit Designs"
Now this is the fun one! Here you get to make your site pretty with themes, upload bgs, change the font and colors.
For this one I'd say have fun with it. Explore and experiment. It takes some time going from the design page and seeing how it looks on the World, but it's the best way to personalize the world to be yours! :3
I think that should cover everything, feel free to ask any further questions regarding making worlds so you can post! HAVE FUN!
I have recently recieved many questions of posting fanarts here on TheOtaku, so here is the basics of doing such! This can be applied to submitting other works like wallpapers and ecards as well
STEP 1 : Finding the Submission Page
(presuming you already have your work ready to go and you just need to put it up) You can either go to any Fan Art page (or the page for what kind of work you would like to submit) like clicking on the Fan Art tab or your fan arts or the fan art section of your fav anime etc. then select the link that says "Submit" OR you can go to your backroom, and highlight the "Quick Submit" link on top of the page and click on "Fan Art" or whichever fandom you wish to share.
NOTE ~ If you are submitting a work for a challenge then go to the Challenge you are submitting it for and submit it from there!
STEP 2 : Filling out the Details
{order and fields slightly vary for other works}
TITLE ~ Required ~ It can be simple like the name of the character, or you can make it enticing so subscribers see the title and want to see it ^^
CATEGORY ~ Required ~ Is it from an anime, which one? Crossover? Original? Is it a book/movie/music etc. Choose where it is from, if you cannot find where it is from, then select "Other" Categories are seperated in alphebetical order in Anime/Manga, Video Games, TV, Movies, Books/Comics, Music, Internet, and Personal
"Is this a Fan Character" checkbox ~ Kinda Required ~ Check it if there is an OC (someone you made up for an already existing series) in it or leave it be if all the characters are cannon
TAGS ~ Optional, but very useful ~ Good tags are the characters' names, if it's a crossover then the series they're from, theme or action in the art
CAPTION ~ Optional ~ Describe what is in the work and/or your reflections on the piece or any insights you would like to share with your viewers
MEMBER DEDICATION ~ Optional ~ If you would like to dedicate this to anyone on TheOtaku, make sure their name is spelled correctly or you'll have to do it over again if you put in a user that does not exist. Just leave blank if there is no dedication
UPLOAD WORK ~ Required ~ Hit the browse button and locate the fanwork from your computer
SUBMISSION OPTIONS ~ Kinda Required ~ Default it submits is for publication which means you'll be able to see it on your profile. If it's a sketch or something you are still working on, you may change it to "store as a draft/sketch"
NOTE ~ Other than FanArts, for Fan Comics, you will create a series page first or choose a stand alone. In a series, you chose where the new page is going in Insert Page After. Wallpapers have different sizes that you can submit for one page, the widescreen dimensions are optional, but you must at least have one 4:3 ratio of the Standard size to submit (must be at least 1024x768). E-cards have the same format as the Fan Arts and have a strict size requirement of 350x350. Quizzes are in their own ballpark, so I made a tutorial to help through that.
Step 3 : Submit!
When you are all ready, hit the "Share Your Masterpiece" button. You should get a green Success box to show it went through. If it's red then it did not go through and should point out why it didn't (ie size requirements or not filling out a reqired part of the form)
NOTE ~ New members' submissions go through moderators to make sure you're not posting plagerized or inappropriate stuffs to the sight, so at first it will take about 24 hours to show up. After you have proven yourself to follow the rules for posting, your works will show up imediately after submitting
Hope that helps ^_^ HAPPY FANDOM!
