Now, even if you don’t have a computer yourself, you can ask someone you know who has a computer and printer to print out the official forms for Family submissions, because they’re available online. They have been redesigned to help you remember all the information that needs to be included.

If you have a computer, with access to the Internet, you can submit your announcements, family forms, letters and even news stories online through interactive forms. Go to www.gleaneronline.org and click on “Contributor’s Information” that appears on the left side of the front page under RESOURCES.

Some printer-friendly PDF Family forms are located at the bottom of the subsequent page. It is not necessary to log in to print out these forms. But if you would rather submit your information online, simply give a login name and password. You will be asked to identify yourself and your connection to your church/organization and/or the story. That gives us the byline information we need, and it is intended to protect the GLEANER from any bogus information that might be placed there by hackers who may access it from the Internet.

Logging in will take you into www.ManageEverything.com In the upper left corner, under the words "Contributors Area" you will see two tabs. Click on the right-hand tab that reads “Add Content,” and a list of forms will appear for you to choose from. Click on the form of your choice and type in the requested information in the style shown above each field.

When you are sure you have all the appropriate information entered, have checked each name again for correct spelling, and have given the city and state of residence wherever it is asked for, then click the SUBMIT button. The information you have submitted will be entered into a file that will appear in a new window under the left tab titled “Manager.” There you may read and make corrections in your submission. When you are satisfied, click CLOSE and SAVE your file. Then close the program. The listing will remain in Manager and be accessable to you until it has been saved into a GLEANER issue. So as long as you can see the file, you can go back into it to make corrections.

If there are any questions about your submission, the GLEANER staff will contact you at the phone number you provided at login.
