How to make a group 'VKontakte'

Probably, it makes no sense to talk about what a social network "VKontakte": almost every first has a page in it. Many very actively use it and create all kinds of thematic groups that unite like-minded people. How to design a group "VKontakte" to make it beautiful, facilitate navigation on the proposed materials and simply raise the mood of visitors? To do this, you, in addition to the computer, the Internet and the account in this social network, will require skills in working with graphic editors (for example, Adobe Photoshop) and, in fact, the availability of these editors on your computer.

Now, in order to design a group "VKontakte", you, first of all, need to create it. To do this, click the "My groups" item in the side menu and go to the "Communities" page, where click "Create community". In the window that appears immediately, enter the name of your group and click on "Create community". The group is created.

Before you design a group "VKontakte", you need to configure it. Fill for this several information fields on the "First Editing" page and activate the necessary blocks. If you have not defined the settings yet, then skip this step and return to it a little later by clicking on the link "Community Management", which is located in the main menu of the group. But in order to create a beautiful design of the VKontakte group, you need to include the "Materials" block.

The base of attractive design is an avatar and a picture-menu. To create them, you need a graphics editor. It is allocated in the process of creation of registration of 3 basic stages: creation and preparation of necessary images, direct loading them into the specified group and creation of the functioning menu by means of wiki-marking "VKontakte".

Before creating a group "VKontakte", create an avatar in the graphics editor . For him, you can make absolutely any composition, but in height it should be less than 800 px (pixels), and in width - no more than 200 px. If you upload a larger image, "VKontakte" will still reduce it.

Next, start creating a menu consisting of several pictures that are closely aligned with each other in such a way that they create the impression of a single whole. With the help of a wiki-markup, you need to assign each page a page that should open when you click on it.

To get this effect, you need to create in the editor one large and complete picture-menu with a width not exceeding 370 px. Select a background, draw buttons on it and write the names of the necessary sections on them, then divide this image into parts.

When the menu and avatar are ready, you can start downloading images to the site. To upload an avatar, click Download Photo. This link is located on the main page of the group. In the process of uploading, specify the portion of the avatar that serves as the icon. After that, in a separate album, you need to download the fragments of the menu and start assembling it.

To do this, click the "Edit" link, which appears if you hover over the "Fresh News" item. On the opened page, in the top field, it is necessary to enter the name of the menu. A large field is provided to enter the wiki markup and create the menu itself or other materials.

How to register a group "VKontakte" next? The next step is to enter the code in the wiki-markup field for each of the menu fragments by the following pattern:

[[Photo- | x px; noborder; nopadding | http: //vk.com/pages? Oid = - & p = ]]

All elements that are enclosed in are replaced with real values for your menu, where:

Is the ID of the image, you can see it in the address bar if you click on the desired menu fragment in the album;

and - the width and height of the image-fragment;

- ID of the group you are registering. It can also be seen in the address bar of the menu editing page;

- the text of the name of the page to which the button will next indicate. Each gap in the title must necessarily be replaced by a lower dash.

More details about the wiki markup can be found by clicking on the link on the editing page link "Help on markup." Also, in order to create a beautiful group design, you can use text formatting, spoilers, tables that you can create using a wiki-markup.
