Place the keyword CodeProject within the <category> element that is the direct child of <channel>. This marks all items within the channel as consumable.
Place the CodeProject keyword within the <category> element that is the direct child of an <item>. This marks just the one item as consumable.

For a blogspot blog the best route might be to use a Rel-Tag per post as described here: Code Project Technical Blog FAQ[^]

If you have any questions or run into any problems please let me know and I'd be happy to help.

Major article review: better a new article?

Hello

A few months ago I wrote this:

ElmahR = ELMAH + SignalR

The article is quickly getting obsolete because the project kept on evolving, I'm keeping its content updated only in the "History" section, but basically I'm planning to rewrite it from scratch in order to reflect the project status. What would you recommend in this case? Do the rewrite in place, releasing an updated version of the same article, or writing a new one with a new title on the same topic (but with pretty different content)?

Thanks

Wasp

I would update the article in-place. The revision history is available for those curious as to what went on before.

Technical blog not polling

It says on my Technical Blog Feeds page that blogs are polled for new content every hour, yet it hasn't polled the one I posted three days ago (Friday 9 November), though it is tagged "CodeProject" as per instructions, and is on top of the feed[^].

The previous article, posted October 17th, also went unnoticed for many days. Neither then nor now did clicking on the the "Update now" graphic do anything.

Would be grateful to know if polling frequency has been turned way down, or if there is somethign I can do to speed things up.

Cheers,
Orjan

You have posted this in the wrong forum. This forum is for people who are writing articles. As for your question, if people haven't answered it, it generally means one of the following:

Your question is so badly worded that no one understands it.
You have asked about something that is specific to a particular vendor.
The right people haven't seen it.
No one knows the answer.

The people who answer questions do so voluntarily. Give it time.

Someone has downvoted almost all user comments on my article[^]. And this is really annoying for me and for the users that wrote comment under my article. (Example: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4421275/Re-My-vote-of-5.aspx[^])
Can we find who downvoted comments for no reason? I want to learn his problem. He have to be banned I think...

Non-Article Really Just a Link to an Off-Site Article... Is That Allowed?

I noticed A deeper look at the Intel IvyBridge Ultrabook is really just a few sentences and link to an off-site article. Looks like it got edited/approved by Smitha Vijayan. Does Code Project really allow "articles" that are just links to off-site articles? I know that blogs can be imported, but that's not the case here... it's really just a link to another article.

We’ve run a series of Ultrabook reviews and in general, they are OK. But we’ve spoken to the author about this one - either beefing it up or changing it. Hope to get it updated ASAP.

Weird behaviour trying to comment on article.

I have been trying to comment on this article[^], but there seem to be multiple versions bouncing around, and my comments are getting out of sync. Is it me or something at your end?

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

He put his article up and then made changes to it immediately. And then it looks like he updated it again, so there's probably a few versions you've seen/been commenting on.

Question on Image Popup script

JavaScript Image Popup[^]

I am relatively new to Javascript and html. I understand the basics of Javascript Image popup. My question is if I have a bunch of images on page, will my DIV's have to be differently named or can I use the same DIV?

Maybe so, but it is where I got directed to ask question about articles on the Code Project. And http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/32819/JavaScript-Image-Popup is on the Code Project website.

So, if I did something wrong, my apologies. I did what I was told to do. Sigh | :sigh:

Sorry, I did not check your link. However for questions about specific articles you should use the forum at the end of the article itself. In that way the author will get an email direct and can answer your query.

I use wordpress.com for my blog here and I have submitted my rss feed here. My latest article was 1058 words long by the count on wordpress.com (so over the 1000 limit), I tagged it with CodeProject, I've followed this advise as well but my article is not being picked up. What can I do about this/or what is the reason for this.

Few days ago I became the platinum member of Authority Section in Code Project after earning more than 10000 points, Currently, Its showing me platinum member in right top corner, but when I am visiting my profile page its showing me 9,904 points. Should I know the reason behind this. I didnt understand the problem. Without any intimation, how is it possible that the points are reduced. D'Oh! | :doh:

Your points can be reduced if your post is downvoted. Read Authority rating.[^] and you can check how your points decreased here. Reputation points[^]
