I have found a workaround for this problem: use FireFox not IE.

When it's working on IE11/Win8.1, I get the HTML formatting that you mentioned above, and while that's a little annoying (because it's hard to find stuff when going into HTML view), I can live with that.
But to me, the "copy/paste doesn't work" line actually means that sometimes (read: very frequently) when I copy/paste into WYSIWYG/design view, the paste action crashes IE and on restarting IE, I have lost all of my edits since the last save. That made using design-view impossible, and HTML view just doesn't fly for a long article. This is why I decided to write my article in Expression Web and then send CP the file when it was done.
Not sure if this belongs here or in the Site Bugs forum... ?

Hi,
Recently I have posed an article but its status is showing as closed. Feedback I received is quality is poor. Can admins please send me the detailed feedback so that I can keep in mind while writing the next article as this was my first time writing an article.

Hi Mohammed,
I have re-opened your tip and I can see you got some helpful tips. The user is correct, primarily you are sharing a link, which is not quite the design we had in mind for Tips and Tricks. We appreciate you trying to help out the development community (it's what we're all about) but in this case it might be best to re-think your idea and start fresh. I will send you some great articles to get you started on writing for CodeProject.
Thanks,

Thanks for responding.
Okay, I got it now. Can you please suggest whether I should delete this Tip?

I recommend a fresh idea. Unfortunately deleting this tip is the way to go in this case.

I have gone ahead and deleted it. The documents I send you will also be very informative about the article editor system as well. Feel free to email back any further questions you might have.

Hi,
I have a couple of articles on GPU programming on Code Project. I have an idea for a third, but it may be too electronics oriented in scope. It may also be too manufacturer specific.
It includes a C# programming example for controlling and collecting data form a homemade random noise generator. But it relies on a preliminary circuit that is provided. It is also specific to a particular data acquisition board.
The article would be a modification of the one on my website: http://mark-bishop.net/signals.php?page=page1
Should I do it?
|
|
|
|
|
Absolutely. That would be awesome.

Hi,
Do you think I should break this into a two part article?
I could write the first one as a general intro/setup/demo for the usb DIO. The second would build upon this using the transistor noise random number generator application.
|

|

If the article starts getting a little long winded, or you find you're trying to cover two topics in one article then by all means split it up, but otherwise I see no reason not to have a single article.

sounds quite good to me, I think you should go for it!

Who are these reviewers and how someone are qualify to review an article or post, with out handson or expertise in specific technology?
I have been puzzeled by the review comments like
"The artlice has 'steps' mentioned , so it should be a blog !"
"This is not enough for an article !"
How some one can decide with out knowing what is been addressed and the depth of content with out knowing the technology used in the post.
I dont know where to raise this concern, so raising this as a question.

As someone who has written a few articles I may have some perspective on this. Effectively, what you have, in the post I just reviewed, is a little over a page and a half worth of material - that's commonly accepted here on CP to be too short for an article. As soon as content has no code, but is a series of points, it becomes natural for people to think of it as a blog entry - that's typically where we see this type of entry.
When we are reviewing articles, we don't necessarily judge the technical content - although that does play part in it. We also judge whether it meets the standards of an article. If not, we tell you. This is an attempt to keep the quality of articles high - blogs go through exactly the same review process.

We qualify based on our contribution to CodeProject in terms of answering questions and writing articles.

And how do you know that they don't?
As a general rule, an article is expected to contain enough content that a new developer can learn from it, not just the steps required to use Visual Studio, or a few lines of code to display something on the screen. If you want to see the sort of quality that is expected, then take a look at any articles by some of the top rated MVPs of the site, excluding me, but definitely including Pete O'Hanlon, who commented above.
Use the best guess

Any way thanks for suggestions. I have a blog on which i have shared my content and thought of sharing it on CP.
But thanks to the responses and reviews, i deleted them all.
I am more than happy to have 250 hits a day guiding others in problems which i have faced.

Nothing wrong with that, though Code Project does have the ability to automatically import your blog entries to the site (I've not used it myself, but that's how it's supposed to work I think).

Just curious what you all use when you write your Code Project articles on a Mac using the submission template file from the article submission page. I'm thinking of using WebStorm, since it's a product I already like and it has a live preview of the HTML as you edit it. Taco HTML Edit and Coda 2 also look nice, though I've not used them before.
What do you recommend?
Note that I'm actually writing my current article in Scrivener, but when I incorporate images and convert it to HTML I want an editor that specifically knows how to work with HTML (code completion, syntax highlighting, live preview, and so on).

How can I upload my source code that is in a zip file for my article in Code Project?
|
|
|
|
|
Please see our FAQ entry on that here: Code Project Article FAQ[^] and let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks,

Thank you Sean. We can only upload file up to 1 MB, but my source code is about 15 MB. How can I do that?
|
|
|
|
|
Sadly we are capped at about 5 MB. In those cases it would be OK to host the source code on an outside place like dropbox, etc.
Thanks,
