In your article you must answer six important questions: what, where, who, when, how and why? (What happened? Where was it? Why? Who was there? When did that happen? How could it happen?) These questions an item's pillars.

An article should have the pieces and any subheadings to make the text more easy to grasp.

If you want to use pictures to article so be sure to have a small caption.

It is not harder than this. So do not forget the title, preamble and the body, and always make sure answer the six questions that I mentioned.
