Article Writing

You've come to the right place Smile | :)

Here is a plethora of resources on writing articles. Tips are similarly structured, but often smaller in scope, solving smaller, specific coding problems in a "tip" or "trick" fashion.

Please let me know if you have any questions or require clarifications and I would be happy to help.

CodeProject articles have a certain layout to follow, so that users can learn the most from them. Each article attempts to answer the following questions: What problem does this solution solve? How does this help someone else? How does the code actually work? What is going on inside the code snippets?

Here is a submission from a first time author who did a terrific job, just to give you a basic overview of what a beginner article might look like:
Avoiding InvokeRequired[^]

You can take a look at our article FAQ here:
Code Project Article FAQ[^]

For tips on writing articles, please see this article:
A Guide To Writing Articles For Code Project[^]

You can also see our submission guidelines here:
http://www.codeproject.com/info/submit.aspx[^]

Again, please do not hesitate to ask any follow-up questions.

Thanks,

This information should surely be added to the sticky at the top of this forum. It has everything a budding (or even budded) author needs to read before posting.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I want to add one Tip/Trick.
I will give the 'Introduction' and 'Background', but after that I want to give one external website link (which I have posted in that website).

Am I allowed to do this ? Or there are some resrictions ?
Please help me...

Thanks in advance...

Confusion

Richard MacCutchan16-Sep-12 7:50

16-Sep-12 7:50

I have been in correspondence with the author of this article[^], but when I follow the link from the CP Home page thus[^], the comments no longer show. Am I alone in finding the new article system somewhat confusing?

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Sean Ewington17-Sep-12 3:47

17-Sep-12 3:47

Hmmm. It seems the article has been deleted.

Richard MacCutchan17-Sep-12 4:27

Yes, I noticed that earlier, it seems the author did not take too kindly to our suggestions.

However, the issue still remains that the new comments system on articles does get a bit confusing at times. I'm not sure there is an easy answer but maybe you good people could bear it in mind when planning the next update.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Sean Ewington17-Sep-12 5:08

You betcha. *takes out pen and paper*

What's confusing and how can we make it better?

Richard MacCutchan17-Sep-12 5:40

It's not always clear where to put comments when there are two "Add comments here" blocks. This becomes more confusing when the poster makes revisions, or in some cases deletes and reposts the same article. In the case I was referring to I was involved in a discussion with the poster about the quality and content of the article. However, if someone else came and clicked the link on the home page (as I did), the article showed without any comments.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Dear,

I am facing some issues with one of my articles wich makes article editing a fastidious task. Each time, I edit my article I get a bunch of span tags in CSS code snippets. You can check it here for example: ASP .NET Image Slider with fancy thumbnail hover effect[^]

Another issue regards the Wizard editor, for example in the section before the "History" I cannot add new lines. As a workround I add br tags in the HTML code view.

I don't know If there's something wrong in the HTML code of the article.

Would it be possible to see if these issues could be resolved?

Kind regards,
