10: There are several ways to enter bulk of your content: (1) Type it in. (2) Cut and Paste from your clip-board. (3) Upload a text file by clicking on the Browse button.

11: Indicate whether your input is in "Structured text", HTML, or "Plain text." For most uploads, Structured text works just fine. You specify this by clicking on one of those three options.

12: Verify that your content does not contain: Profanity, hate, etc., Advertising or Commercials, Links (URLs) to web content outside of this portal (unless you have purchased advertising space/rights at this website), Any thing that is of personal/confidential nature, and Any thing that is unlawful/inappropriate.

19: Your document will be queued for a review by a moderator/reviewer.

Now that was not to too bad -considering there was no (html/web) programming involved! :)
