Hi,

this is how I see things, others may have a different view:
- a good article is clear and easy to understand, describing something real, with both text and some code (definitely more text than code), and a full source download.
- beginners stuff is tricky, if not sufficiently marked as such, it may get low votes and "nothing new, nothing interesting" notes.
- non-gold members get their articles only shown in a "article needing approval" list on the CP home page, where only gold and upward members can see them and vote and possibly approve for general publication. However the list is a 5-entry LIFO, so newer crap may hide your as yet unapproved gem.
- getting approved but not collecting many votes is a pitty; the approval stage is there so those wise gold members can give you pointers as to how improve your article; following their advice your article should be good and collect decent votes.
- AFAIK bookmarks don't count for anything, however IMO it does not make sense to bookmark something without voting for it.
- articles can be interesting with an emphasis on coding or on application; the former needs to be correct and relevant, the latter gets its merits from realism and getting things done. Both can be equally valuable.

Smile | :)
