Writing a good article can be hard, but it is rewarding. First of all, take a look at articles by the likes of Sacha Barber[^], Marc Clifton[^] or Nish Sivakumar[^] to see examples of what good articles look like. Notice that they are all a good length, and that they explain what the problem is, show relevant parts of the code to show how they solved it and they explain their thinking as well. These authors don't just dump code and walk away. They explain things.
Having understandable English is important, as well, so the use of text speak is out, proper capitalisation and punctuation needs to be present. The good news is that there are people who will be willing to help you with your article. When you have written it, don't publish it. Instead, keep it at composing status and approach Sean Ewington (have a look on this forum for his posts, and click the email link on any of them to email him directly). Ask him if a mentor can help with your article, don't forget to give him a link to the article in question. Sean will ask the mentors, who are all experienced authors, and they will try to help.

How can I apply a border to my table, including it's cells? I've tried using border="1px" but that doesn't draw anything in the preview?
Even, the toggle borders on the table is on.
Is there any other way to achieve this, without using inlne styles?

Does this have anything to do with an article?

Yes, it does, I have to insert a table in my article and i can't get the borders drawn!. The contents are quite long (enum values), so it is hard to recognize that content is of which row and might create confusion.

Try an inline style like this:
<table style="border:1px solid blue">
|
|
|
|
|
That draws a border around the table not the cells, the cells still remain joined to each other without any border.
|
|
|
|

You can apply a similar trick on the td element as well.

That's what I was wanting to avoid!
Anyways, I got one...

We actually have an official one. Please see below and let me know if you have any questions:
<table class="ArticleTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Tables with borders. This cell a bolded and colorized border because of thead</td>
<td>This cell in this row ALSO has a bolded and colorized border because of thead</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td>This cell in this row is not bolded and colorized</td>
<td>Neither is this one</td>
</tr>
</table>

How can i provide link to Source code in my article like Code project Format [DOWN LOAD sOURCE HERE ]
|
|
|
|

If you use the link[feature] feature in the editor on CP you can add it pretty easy. OR edit it as html. That link I made as an example takes you to Code Project home page. You just need the url of your download target for the href attribute and the text "link" can say "[download source here]" or whatever you like.
if you right click and get view source, you will see the source for the links above looks like: <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/">link</a>[<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/" target="_blank" title="New Window">feature</a>]
This gives 2 links, one opens in a new window and the other changes the page. Try them both and see which works better for you.

To the right of your article text is the list of files you've uploaded. There's an icon next to each file that, when clicked, inserts a link to the file into your article. The text box under the file allows you to customise the wording associated with the file.
At the top of the list of files is a button that allows you to insert all files that you've checked into your article source.

Hi,
On my Wordpress article (http://pragmateek.com/using-an-access-mysql-postgresql-or-sqlite-database-from-vba/[^]) I've used some slide-show stuff but it's not correctly imported and appears as raw:
[simple_slides set="SQLiteODBCDriver_Setup" theme="bar" pause_time="3600000"]
So I'm looking for a way of displaying logically all this bunch of images (there is something like 25 images) and I want to avoid listing them one after the other because it would create series of 10 images 
My idea was to replace each slide-show by a table of images, and each image when clicked would display as full size but if possible in the same CodeProject window, without going to my blog.
Have you any suggestions?
Thanks for any help

I think your table idea is probably the most viable option, but the size of the table is very important. We have a 640 pixel width maximum and if you try and make a table of images larger than that ... it gets nightmarish.
Thanks,

Thanks Sean, I didn't know this limitation.
But I wonder how I will present them without blowing the article with big sequences of images.
In the table I wanted clickable thumbnails that when clicked would show the full size image.
If it's too tricky I think putting 2 images by row will be possible without generating a too long table and if clicked it will simply redirect to the blog in another tab...

I have been busy working on a new blog and want to submit the feed here. I am fairly certain I already know the answer but for the title am I supposed to put some title for my blog site??
My plan is to start writing on some iOS stuff as well as to continue my javascript stuff.
Thanks.
as if the facebook, twitter and message boards weren't enough - blogged

Put whatever title you feel is appropriate. The title of your blog is, to me, the most appropriate.
And it's not a silly question.

I figured that was the answer but then in my mind I thought... "it can't be that easy."
