It's okay, I can walk you through the process of creating a static item. By the way, static item is an item that stores or displays your writing compositions in the whatever form. It could be poetry, short story, essay, etc. It's the one you already have in your portfolio. Please check "Static Item"  and "Create/Edit a Static Item" .

To create a static item, Click Portfolio on your left hand side menu, it will pop up a bunch of submenus. Click Create new Item. Or it's directly available in your left hand side menus with the green + icon that says Create New Item. Clicking on that will direct you to a new page which displays available options with your type of membership. Static item must be there on the very first option. Click on that and it will bring you to the page where you need to fill out some information such as the name of your composition, description, the intro rating,the body, and all other required dropdowns. Fill out all that and then save. There you have it, you just created the static item.


Now once you already saved the static item, the system automatically assign an ID number to it. It usually has 7 digits. This ID number is useful in linking your writings around the whole site's public areas such as the forums, newsfeed, etc.

Supposed you already created your static item supplied with your entry for this contest, you can link your item here through the Big Item format or b-item format (actually, there are a lot of linking options available for use). To create the b-item link, simply do it this way:

{b-item:#######}

Replace the #s with your static item's ID number. Make sure that the link tag is enclosed with the braces {} for it to work.See "Newbie Hyperlinking 101 - Bitem Format" 

And there you have it, your link should appear after saving your post.
I hope I made everything clear here. I want your entry to qualify and I want you to join in this contest. Please give it a try. And if ever you need help, let me know.
