About

I'm John P. Wise, a 15-year news veteran who spent the fall of 2009 on the road covering America's greatest sport. I hit 15 college football games in 15 weeks in 15 cities, and am now back in Brooklyn writing a book about the great adventure. You can see my Web site -- which is now obviously a little more college basketball-centric, at one great season [dot] com.

    I hope that you read my take on the Tiger saga. Obviously, I have been behind the timing, but I believe that it was important to wait and write something thought-provoking rather than write articles for the sole purpose of attention.

    I must say however that if you are under the age of 17 or easily offended that you should not read the article.

    Ohh. Got it. Some stories, like the hot cheerleader one, has photos in the body of the text. Every article should have a headline photo, which will show up as a thumbnail next to the headline. When editing the article, above the text box, you'll see the "add a photo" button. You can either search Getty Images or upload any of your own images.

    I hope this helps. If you still have questions about it, please don't hesitate to let me know.

    Have a great day!

    What exactly do you mean by thumbnail? I'm really sorry. I just want to make sure I understand what you're asking.
