When Will I Get My First Period Quiz Playbuzz

Hi there! So, you've signed up for a BuzzFeed account and you've got a golden idea for a BuzzFeed quiz. How do you make it a reality? We'll show you how!

⭐️Please note, if your post or quiz is selected to get featured across BuzzFeed's network, our editors may make a few edits to it to reflect the BuzzFeed style and tone! This includes edits to some copy and images.⭐️

Psst! This guide is a step-by-step about how to create a quiz itself, but if you want tips on how to make a quiz super, super rad, check out this guide, too!

Before we start, please remember to take a look at our Community Rules and Guidelines.

Unfortunately, violating any of our guidelines could result in your quiz or account being deleted without warning!

OK, let's do this.

To start your quiz, log in to BuzzFeed.

Next, create your quiz by using the personality quiz builder in the BuzzFeed CMS (aka "Content Management System").

There are two ways to get to the quiz builder. You can either head to this link to immediately open it, which'll look like this...

...or pop on over to https://community.buzzfeed.com/post, and in your first subbuzz, hover over the "Quiz" button and select "Personality":

You will begin your quiz by entering your results. Yes: results first, then questions!

Once you add your result, keep hitting the blue "add another result" button until all of your results have been entered into the CMS (aka "Content Management System").

⭐️ Why do we start with results? ⭐️

This makes it easy to create answers that fit your results, instead of trying to do it the other way around!

Once you've added all of your results, then you can go ahead and begin adding questions. You can choose to enter text only for your questions, like this...

...or you can upload images straight from your draft, like this:

FAQ: How many questions should I add to my quiz?

It's really up to you! We recommend 5–8 questions. Get creative with them, too! Your quiz is basically art.

Once you've finished adding all of your questions, hit "get ready for publishing" at the bottom of the quiz builder:

Then you're done with the bulk of your quiz, and you'll want to make it stand out. You can do so by writing creative headlines and adding thumbnails.

Start with a headline and caption. Don't be afraid to get creative and/or strangely specific with both:

Then, move on to your thumbnails, which need to be at least 625x415 pixels. You can either select one from your post (if the image is large enough), or upload one from your computer:

After uploading your thumbnails, crop them and hit "save."

Finally, if you'd like to add an optional Community Tag, go for it! Simply click on the drop-down box under "Community Tags" on the right-hand side of your draft. If your post is related to any of these topics, click on it before publishing.*

Then, hit "publish now" in the upper right-hand corner, and a Community Editor will see your post! All posts that are published will be considered for promotion to the BuzzFeed homepage and/or our social media!

If you're searching for hi-res photos to use in a personality quiz, you can upload them straight from your draft with our Unsplash Photo Uploader!

Some cool things to note regarding the Personality Quiz Unsplash Photo Uploader:

1. You do not need to add a photo credit, as this system automatically adds a photo credit to the photo.

2. You do not even need to leave your draft to upload images. This is the easiest way to upload images to your personality quiz!

Here's how to use it. Step one: start your personality quiz. In the answer section under your first question, click on the little photo icon.

Step two: When the image uploader pops up, type what you're looking for into the search bar. Click the image you'd like to use, and it will be added to your post! Continue these steps until you're finished with each question.

DID YOU KNOW?

You can also add Unsplash images following these same steps to your results section!

You can also add GIFs to your posts! GIFs make the world go round. Using GIFs to illustrate the point of your post is a great option. To find some, Giphy is a fabulous resource.

When crediting GIFs:

And that's it! Pretty easy, right?
