Hi Anurag,

Thanks very much for your query. In order to keep our newsletter lean, we have set a requirement of three minimum votes on an article before it appears in the newsletter.

Thanks,

Does it mean that after 3 votes, it will appear in the Newsletter?

Or an article needs 3 votes during the first week of submission only?

New blog posts are not getting consumed

26-Aug-13 5:23

Yes and yes. For "new" articles an article only has the first week to get those 3 votes. After the first week is over it will not be considered for the "new" section of the upcoming newsletter. However, if you were to update it and it had 3 votes it would be considered for the "updated articles" section of the newsletter.

Hi,

recently I added my blog feed and the first article got pulled fine. Now when I added more posts none of them are getting consumed.

Now, I've added the CodeProject link to the bottom of every post but still it's not working.

On my blog feed though I can't seem to see this tag: http://nikola-breznjak.com/blog/feed/[^]

Do you maybe have some suggestions what should I try to do?

Hi Nikola,

Thanks very much for your query. I believe the length of your blog entries is the reason here. In order for our aggregator to pull, an entry must be at least 1000 words long.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering, does the code also count as words? If so, could you please just review this post (http://nikola-breznjak.com/blog/php/using-prepared-statements-in-php-with-mysqli/[^]), as if I'm not mistaking it has 1375 words.

Thank you,
Nikola

Hmmm. Your RSS link in our feed looks good. You rel tag looks good. I think code counts for words.

Hmmm.

Would you consider changing your feed description to include the entire post? I suspect your previous entry that pulled was not set up like this, but please humour me, I'm superstitious.

Thanks,

You are totally correct. First time I posted my first post I had the posts set up in a way that they were showing full content (not excerpts). After that I changed it to only show excerpts, and posted two additional posts. Then, when I saw that the codeproject wasn't pulling in my blog feed I changed the posts settings back to the full content, but that didn't help so I was lost.

Currently posts are set to show full content, thereby the feed shows the full content of all posts.

Hope this helps now.

Thanks,
Nikola

AppInnovation Entry - Problem in publishing

I'd be happy to help. But if this is your article, were you eventually successful?

I have been trying to publish this article for AppInnovation. But everytime that I click on Publish it gives an error: "The content is either too short or default". The article looks fine when I Preview it. The article ID is: 640977

This error is thrown even though the lenght of the article is substantial. Any suggestions as to what should I do?

Could you provide a clickable link to the article so that I can take a look at it?

It's still in drafts. Can I still send a link?

Pete O'Hanlon21-Aug-13 5:29

21-Aug-13 5:29

Yes you can. As an editor, I can take a look at it.

Sean is currently editing it. He should be able to sort it (including fixing the missing images in the draft).

There[^] you go. You had left some of the boilerplate text in. That was preventing your article being posted. It's live now.

It doesn't like something in your HTML is my best guess. I am still investigating.
