Im working on an article and its getting really big, on this article I address more than one subject, and the subjects depend on previous subjects. Instead of posting one big article, Can I split the article in multiple parts?

of course you can, it has been done many times. Here[^] is one example.
There may be some tricky things about it, such as providing a download for each of the parts (you can't expect to have only one download, with the last part); and providing an overall table of contents (more content increases the need for a TOC). And it helps when you know how many parts there's going to be, so you can title them "ZZZ (part X of Y)".
So most of the time I expect it boils down to writing all parts before publishing any of them. But even that is not a must.

The post smelled bad to me so I googled dude's name and coderocket and he has been plugging this commercial product everywhere in the guise of an enthusiastic user.
Something about that just chaps my hide. Kind of like the 'news' story with the small print 'advertisement' disclaimer or the infomercial posing as a news story.
Anyway - that's just my opinion, but I am not alone judging from the comments.

Some members posted some suggestions as alternates on one of my tips.
I am going to implement the suggestion and am guessing that 'accept alternate' is an appropriate action but what happens when I do so.

Your tip will merge with their changes. There is versioning so you can always revert if you're unhappy

Thanks.
An error was reported when it tried to merge. I am guessing that is because the alternate is just a sentence describing an improvement. In any case, I will just upvote and credit the guy.

I have seen this post up as Editors Choice for more than 8 weeks, not necessarily consecutive. As if someone has decided that it really needs a lot of exposure and keeps placing it.
?!?
Aside from the fact that it makes it clear that there is no one responsible for ensuring that interesting and new content is linked on the landing page, the code itself is novelty and not entirely practical.
I used to be proud when one of my posts made it to editor's choice, now not so much.
Is anyone running the joint?

Articles are picked when an Editor sees an article they really like. There's no schedule, and no quota. An editor might see a string of C# articles and pick 10 in a week, or they may not see a Java article that blows them away for a month. Each category (C++, C#, etc) will display whatever the latest editor's choice article can be found within that given category.
If you're not proud to have your article chosen then I don't know what to say, other than it saddens me.

Thanks for the response.
I hope I am not being petty, but with the number of high quality and useful posts you receive and number of page views the landing page gets I would hope that front page exposure would be kept fresh and interesting.
Dude, I live for the moment I see my name on the front page! That is what brought this issue to my attention. Tag Cloud was up for a few intervals and then I made it for a few days and then Tag Cloud went back up and stayed for over a month. I noticed this. Don't misunderstand me, I am not jealous or complaining about not staying on the front page, just wondering at the seemingly capricious nature of the Editor's Choice.
Cheers.

Wait no longer.
I thought I'd selected one of blog entries as an Editor's Choice before. I show your blog entries to bloggers who need guidance.

Yes, several of my posts have been selected, and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Hi,
I have been doing MFC C++ and have an idea for an article
what is the process for submission etc...
thankx
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
there are some guidelines here[^]; close to the top of that page is the link to the Article Submission Wizard.
It may be worthwhile to look at some of the articles already on CodeProject. You could also ask for a mentor, who would guide you. Not sure how exactly that works.
|
|
|
|
|
How about I tell you about my idea and you tell me if its worhwhile
here its
"Making a Modless Dialog a Main Window"
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
I haven't done any MFC myself the last ten years, so I can't really comment. I suggest you expand that title to a first paragraph, you know the one that people read to decide whether to read on or not; and then wait for a few people here to react.
|
|
|
|
|
So what is different from any other main window? What time-saving or other technical extra does this offer the developer?
It's time for a new signature.

Please keep in mind I only moonlight at this or this-> (joke)
My daytime job is as a Assembler programmer on a Mainframe
So ... to answer your question um....
well when there is a parent child relationship in reagards to Windows
Windows the OS generates a lot of WM_PAINT type messages when the child window/control is moved around
trying not to bump into the MainWindow
I guess the genration of these messages would go away

1. Guessing is rarely enough; I would suggest some more research into exactly what does happen.
2. You still have not explained why your 'solution' would be useful to a developer.
3. If you still feel the article is worthwhile then go ahead and post it; and see what feedback you get from the community.
It's time for a new signature.

Hi everybody,
I've created a WPF application that contains a music by Enrique Iglesias. I don't know what the music license is.
Can I post the App on CodeProject ?
Thanks.

Personally, I feel the world needs far, far more Enrique Iglesias. Unfortunately the RIA and other copyright holders shun the public use and distribution of their contracted artists' music without the suitable fees being paid.

It didn't work for Tom Jones, why would it work for Enrique?

The article has yet the composing status, I am not sure how long does it take from composing to final or published status.
And there is this one more thing, the article is only visible through my profile, when I am not logged on I can't find the article.
