I opened up a wall in my basement and found a vertical post splitting (see Pic).

This post about 5' high and is supporting a 3x3 landing by my side door, and some roof weight is being transferred to this column also.
The house is from the 60s and I have no idea how long it has been like this.
I was wondering what the best method would be to repair this issue?
I found this on ehow.com http://tinyurl.com/aegtpq5
Can anybody give and further details on how to go about this?
Thanks.
