Submitting an Article Question

Contemplating putting a little something together.

Total noob to articles here though and it looks like when I submit one I need to provide a 'summary' and a 'description'. What's the difference? Am i submitting a proposal first and not the actual article? Which section should I put the real content of the article in?

Also, does it matter if it's submitted as an article or blog post? Makes no difference to me.

I uploaded a blog post and it's image heavy linking to a lot of photos. Took awhile to structure the post.

I have no idea what the format is gonna be like. Is there a way to preview it before it goes live?

The "summery" box is what appears before the "read more" link, and also what goes out in the news feed. Typically it's your first paragraph, but it could be a teaser to get people to actually click on it to read the rest of your article.

The 'description' box is just the rest of your article.

That's super helpful, thanks!
