I don't get the standing there without saying anything
What was he up to standing there - it must be one of the weirdest press conferences I have ever seen.

Casual question to fellow Code Project authors...
Does anybody know how the articles that appear in the list on the home page are determined?
It says latest articles... but I never saw mine in the list.
If your article is part of a contest is it excluded from the latest articles list?
Is there any other way to increase visibility of an article?
Maybe I'm just impatient, but its my first article and I was hoping for some feedback.

There are times when articles (and tips and blogs and references) are coming so fast that yours has a few minutes (2-3) on the front page...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

It's magic. Also, if you send Sean some top quality olive oil that normally helps 'promote' your work.
You really don't want to know what it takes to get 'featured article'.

Quote: If your article is part of a contest is it excluded from the latest articles list?
Yes the contest articles (especially the latest one on HTML5 & CSS3) does not immediately appear on the home page. It's not always the case, I have seen sometimes it appears out of nowhere.
I'm sure CP might have plans to show up all these contest articles when it gets over (may be) 
Thanks,

The list is cached, and if a lot of articles come through between two cache refresh intervals it may happen that your article is washed away by the later articles.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Today many people published/updated their articles/blogs/tips-tricks/reference so your article went deep. But still people could see your article using Latest Articles[^] page(Use the filters from right side).

This could help you to include the missing features(such as TOC, history) in your article. A Guide To Writing Articles For Code Project[^]
And share your article over web.

Were you in the right section? Did you tag your article for the right language / technology?
As others have said, it can scroll off the list very quickly.
I wish it were two lists, one for new articles (did you uncheck the "this is an update" checkbox when submitting the article???) and one for updates. The updates are rampant and totally drown out the new stuff.

I'm not sure, but I believe that this box is only visible to members with higher privileges.

It might get better if we could filter out any article referring to MVC, MVVM, MVVMC and so on......

Happy birthday to you, dear loctrice.
I wish you many gifts and happy memories on this special day.
