QuestionTechnical Blogs are accepted as content, why are they not counted?memberSky Sanders23 Feb '10 - 17:19 
I previously emailed the webmaster concerning the fact that unless a reader KNEW that I had articles originating from my blog there was no clear way for them to find them.
 
E.g. the authors article listing defaults to 'proper' articles tab and displayed '0 articles' so there really was no motivation to click on blogs.
 
Apparently that feedback was heard and thus I was pleased, but it really only goes half way there.
 
Every where but the 'back room' authors article page shows '0 articles found' and what concerns me more is that google is indexing as such.
 
e.g.
Articles by Sky Sanders (0 articles found) - CodeProject
Articles by Sky Sanders (0 articles found) - Free source code and tutorials for Software developers and Architects.
www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/MemberArticles.aspx?amid... - Cached -

If a blog based submission is good enough to be accepted by your moderators and served as content by your site why is it not good enough to be counted as an 'article'?
 
Should I find another outlet for publishing my content?

excellent. I am really happy about that..
 
Just to be clear, I did email webmaster@codeproject with this before bringing it here.
 
Thanks

Raise these things on the site-bugs forum, they have higher visibility.

Hey chris, I see you have made blogs more discoverable, thank you very much for the quick response.
 
I noticed one other place that may need attention:
 
Articles / Tech Blogs Technical Blogs: 8 - Browser
 
Am I really a 'Browser'? should I not be a 'Writer' or 'Contributor'?
 
Which brings to mind another question: are accepted blog posts counted towards rep points and member status? Of course, I think they should be.
 
Thanks again,
Sky

This whole thing is getting fixed. It's a little out of date.
