I think it is a great start. One thing I would recommend is given your topic, I would look around on CodeProject at articles on the same or similar topics. Make sure you include in your article: What makes your article different? What areas are you exploring that other articles haven't covered?
Thanks,

Respected Sir,
I am very sorry to trouble you like this again and again. My focus is freshers(people with a very little experience or no experience at all) should read this article. I want them to simply have a glance at it and be able to grasp it at the very instant they read it. Its no point using high end terminologies(they wont understand it. I used to be in the same boat i am still). This article should be damn simple,to the point, expressive, attractive.
And yes thats a very valuable suggestion. Actually i am busy on a project, i am not able to give time to the article. This is irritating me. Well, i really want to thank you to take out some time to advice me.
And really sorry to trouble you with something like this.
Thanks a ton ,
-Rahul

It is no trouble, it is my pleasure. I'm happy to look over your article for formatting or suggestions whenever. And please do keep my previous tip in mind. Given your topic, saying what makes your article different from others on CodeProject will be necessary.
Thanks,

Respected Sir,
I found Pete Sir's suggestion great. I hope if you could mentor me. Can you tell me something about mentor program?
Thanks,
Rahul

Pete's really covered the basics. Once you have your article complete or nearly complete, you send me an email saying you're ready for a mentor to take a look over it, and then they interact with you on your forum, discussing ways to make your article better and help get it approved for CodeProject.
Your current article probably needs a little more meat to it before the mentors can get into it though.
Thanks,

Hello sir,
Quote: Pete's really covered the basics. is it related to the topic on which i am writing? And yes my article needs a lot more content. I am reading up on it.
Ok i will complete my article as soon as possible and ask for being mentored.
Thanks,
Rahul

Why not ask Sean if you could be mentored? There's a mentor program here on CodeProject where you can ask people to look at your article and make suggestions to help improve it/make it ready for release.

Wow Sir,
Thanks a Ton. Thats a great tip +5. I will ask Sean Sir about it.

It would appear that the old method of centering a table on the page:
<table align="center">
no longer works.
How does one center a table?
Maybe there should be a short HTML guide on using tables in CodeProject articles, useful for us old timers who learned HTML when Netscape was the #1 browser...
|
|
|
|
|
Two ways. Old school
<center><table...></table></center>
or using standards
<table style="margin:0 auto"> ... </table>
eg
or for full cross browser support
<div style="text-align:center"><table style="margin:0 auto;text-align:left"> ... </table></div>

Now, old lady - you have one last chance. Confess the heinous sin of heresy. Reject the works of the ungodly. Two last chances and you shall be free. Three last chances. You have three last chances, the nature of which I have divulged in my previous utterance.

try this <center> for beginning tag and </center> for end tag

I've uploaded an article and checked it in Preview (apart from missing images, it looks good). I check work in progress, and don't mess with my HTML.
But whenever I try to save the draft, I get the "Some Bad Has Happened" screen.
I even tried it with an empty article - same error.
Is it something I'm doing, or try-again-later-it-should-be-fixed problem?
|
|
|
|
|
I, at least, cannot reproduce your problem in saving a new article.
|
|
|
|
|
Probably resolved, somewhat. I should have been saving the draft.
I was pressing "Save this version" without having entered at title, or selected a section or subsection.

I have two question:
1. How do you replace an image file. I have no problem uploading an image file and displaying it. However, if I want to replace it with another image, I delete the original one, upload the new one and I continue to get the original one displayed.
2. How do you prevent the Wizard from inserting <br/>. I checked do not mess with my formatting. But after I get out the page and come back a few hours later my format is all gone.
Thanks

|

Hmm, interesting.
1. Even after refreshing the article page?
2. Could you please let me know what browser you are working? Is it happening in every browser?
If the article editor is giving you frustrations I'm happy to tackle it. Please shoot me an email.
Thanks,

I was using MS IE 10.0.12. I tried it again this time with Firefox. Changing the image with Firefox is working. I deleted the original one uploaded a new one, I had two links, I remove one and it is working.
Next I pasted HTML code, I checked Don’t mess with my HTML formatting, I clicked Save Draft, closed Firefox, restarted Firefox, selected in my article the new article and now I have at the end of each line . I do not want it there.

Hello
I am trying to compose an article, and instead of getting normal C# formatting I am getting markup code line break tags instead of the line breaks being applied to the code sections when I preview, like this:
using System;<br />using System.Configuration;<br />using System.IO
Can anyone advice me what to do to fix this ??
I have publish another article, and this problem did not arise.
Thanks,
Baxter-P

Hmmm. I am wondering if it depends on your browser or the source you are copying and pasting from. Have you tried putting the code in something like notepad, then copying and pasting from there into the article?
If it's giving you trouble I'd be happy to post the article for you. Feel free to send it my way.
Thanks,

Hi Sean,
I'll try the notepad idea.
Thanks for the offer, but I would like to post it myself.
Thanks,
Baxter.

Hi Again
I switched to IE from Firefox, problem solved.
I noticed the browser performs some kind of step once the code has been copied in on IE, but not on Firefox.
Thanks Again,
Baxter
