Re: Good day all

It seems you have all been busy while i was off installing windows today - 4 down, 2 to go. woohoo!. Let's see, in no particular order: I've drank the green coconut water, but would have preferred it cold instead of warm. My first trip to Barbados was for my wedding, and the other guys in the weddin...

On waiting for approval

After reading some threads in this area of the forum, I'm coming to realize patience will be a virtue while waiting for my first article to be approved or rejected. I also realize an exact estimate is impossible based on the constant change (cc?) in amount incoming work all the time, and I'm on the ...

Re: ACCEPTED!!!

Congrats Sarah! I just submitted my first article, and I in the "check often" crowd until I find out if it is accepted or not. I'm actually happy that a qualified person is looking my work over. For other writing websites, I've gotten sloppy because things are never checked and the payout ...

A simple few steps, examples of why it might be rejected, a link to best practices for writer head-shots, etc. Hmm... tips for a good author dust jacket or promotional ...

Re: Problems uploading Bio Pic

Success! I cropped a digital photo to try different sizes, and the first one worked. It was over 400 pixels wide and high, so it seems it was an issue of size. However, I realize now that there may have been extra information added to that first image I tried as xml tags or whatnot. That may have ca...

A couple questions afer my first submission

I just submitted my first article and I have a couple questions. After submitting I realize my category choice was not the best - an article about eating at college should really go in college instead of nutrition. Is there some way to change the category on an article? Also after submitting, I read...

Re: Problems uploading Bio Pic

Thanks for the ideas Debbi!
So far the message is just "No file uploaded" type of thing.
Since I posted I have tried a BMP, PNG, and the JPG file.
I will try different pictures to see if anything works, and I will post back here with anything I discover.
