Tip for Writers

Hi everyone, If you want your real name (not your username) and the proper title to appear on any articles you sell for Use Rights, you will want to add your name and the title on your downloaded file. As someone who occasionally buys manuscripts from CC for my blogs, I've found that many of the dow...

Re: hit list

Libby & Lysis, If it helps, my sales this month included one article I've had on CC for 2 years with 92 hits; one article that is 4 months old with 19 hits; and one article that is 2 months old with 45 hits. Believe it when Celeste says that older articles will sell - lately I've been selling ar...

Re: Using "You" in Articles - What are Your Thoughts?

I vaguely remember my college English professor saying “you” do not belong in the story. She also said “got and gotten” are completely banned and “lots” are parcels of land. Yet, all of those words are used freely today. Apparently, what happens in English class, stays in English class. :) As for he...

Using "You" in Articles - What are Your Thoughts?

I've been writing for several publications and have found some publications that do not allow the use of second person, "you, your or you're", in articles. Yet, they want the articles to be written to the reader. I find that a bit odd since, to me, the best way to write to the reader is to...

Something to Ponder

I ran across this and thought that CC was the perfect place for this quote:

"This morning I took out a comma and this afternoon I put it back in again."
Oscar Wilde

Don't we all feel this way about commas sometimes??

Re: Stolen Articles

I'm glad I could help. I found mine by accident. I am very frustrated about this too. Over the past two years I have had several articles stolen and it lowers the chance of selling them for full rights. I hope CC can find a way to put a stop to this. I agree with Celeste, Grrr!

Stolen Articles

Hi all,

I just found two of my articles that have been stolen at this page on Associated Content. http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/4 ... _paul.html

You may want to check to see if any of you have stolen content on this too. I will be contacting support about mine.

Re: Constant Content Gets an Update

I guess I'm not as excited about the new changes as much as everyone else is. I find the light blue background and the blue titles of the articles are difficult to read, especially if you've been reading the page for a little while. I'm thinking of customers who are searching the site and reading ti...

Re: I'm so excited

Hey Jak, Glad you were able to visit my web page. I have a problem with having too many ideas and not enough time! I had started both books, then finally made myself finish one and then the other like a normal person should. I have three books half done right now and am trying to force myself to sti...

Re: I'm so excited

Good for you! I miss the ocean and would love to live near it again, so I am always happy to hear when someone gets to be where they want. Yes, get a dog and do lots of walking. I walk the trails here almost everyday with my dog and to the lake and I love it. Enjoy your new home!

Re: Grammar Gripe

Hayley - Don't feel bad about everyone thinking Aussies are just like Crocodile Dundee, I hate that everyone thinks Minnesotan's talk and act like the characters in the movie Fargo. Fargo isn't even in Minnesota - it's in North Dakota! But everyone is always trying to talk with that phoney Minnesota...

Re: Grammar Gripe

I think grammar rules are only important to English teachers, editors and those of us who are trying to make a living in the world of words. I've seen some pretty scary grammar written by company CEO's who are supposed to be well-educated as well as many other types of executives in business. And be...
