Given the programmer's I've worked with, I would strongly disagree.

I met a well balanced, sociable, extroverted developer once. Once.

He was a sleeper agent for marketing or sales.

I can assure you most cats have more social skills than me.

Dunno. Do you count placing leg-amputated frogs under the couch as a token a love under social skills? Not that that's a kind of skill I'm good at

Hmmmm..... I never tried that. I wonder if that would have made a difference in any of my failed relationships
I'll have to give it a try in the one

I thought wire coat hangers are what socks became in the dryer: socks are coat hanger "caterpillars" that morph in to hangers. That's why there is almost always at least one sock missing from the dryer and a new coat hanger in a closet.

Sry I have to say that but I wrote a nice article (I think) but gave up on publishing it since formatting it is a HELL in the online editor and I'm not brave enough to try the new one since it sucked all my energy out of me

It's so freeking annoying to paste code and it spaces over over the whole block and so on, it consumes almost the same time as writing the article itself but thanks for suggesting asking for help

Hi Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter,
I have use the new editor to publish my new article and you were 100% right that it is better.

Nice article

I write all my articles offline and use email submission. No muss, no fuss, no hassle.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Hi,
I wrote my article offline but in Open Office and exported it as a .Pdf , but perhaps its an idea to just send it by email
With friendly greetings,

You can download the skeleton article and build it offline using that, then submit as a Zip file. Takes a bit longer to get published but it tends to work.

Hi Richard,
I downloaded the CodeProjectArticleEditor.exe from Huseyin Atasoy , it looks promising
Thanks for the advise

I know I'm archaic, but I write all my articles in FrontPage and just paste the HTML into the online editor. At most, I use it to add "code" tags.

Hi Mark,
FrontPage sounds familiar but no clue what it was except something from MS in the past I think

Quite so. It used to be the way people published static web pages. I still like it as an article editor because of it's split view (HTML / text) but there's more modern editors that do the same thing.

Sorry I just had to vent. I used to do some contract work for a web video company* and they hired this graphic artist to put a new face on their web site. Needless to say she couldn't do simple things like add a video to the page, something essential for a web video company to have, so I would have to wade through tons of really crap code to find where I could add the control.

* - I used to package completed videos and video players for their clients so they could drop them on their web pages with a minimum of effort.
Did I mention that I hate Frontpage.

I don't like the online editor either (though to be fair I haven't written an article for long enough it is probably better now), so I write the article as plain HTML in a text editor (Notepad++, these days) and then paste it in.
|
|
|
|

I agree. I would rather use NotePad to edit the raw HTML.
I'd be surprised if anyone used it for anything longer than a paragraph.
