Re: Responding to New Article Requests

I just contacted a requestor, because his/her request was vague for wanting 1,000 words. They asked for articles on growing tomatoes, yet said they were starting a gardening site and wanted it to be used as their first page. I wasn't sure if they are gearing toward professional farmers or back yard ...

Re: Article acceptance and review messages in inbox

I hate rejections also, but I really learn when reading the admonishments about what I've done wrong. I thought I was the queen of grammar until I read about my failed comprehension of could and can, and I spent two hours on line in various grammar sites trying to figure out when to use each. Then I...

Re: Rejected Submissions.. 3 strikes and your out

I have been browsing the site and can't find where it mentions the "3 strikes and you're out" rule. Is this 3 rejections on one article, 3 rejections on 3 articles, or 3 rejections on your total articles submitted. I messed up a while back when I forgot to change my title from all caps. I ...

article submission

Thanks all for your help. I was thinking today that when someone joins this group they should not be able to write anything for a week until they've studied everything. I finally discovered that you have to start at the top and work your way down... so that's out of the way. Only today did I figure ...

titles

I was just reading your guidelines, and it said this:

The proper format for titles is upper and lower case letters. Example: The Power of Love [

In your note, you said to capitalize the titles... So now I'm confused.

Are the titles all in caps or just the first letter capitalized?

capitalizing titles

Thanks for the comments. Like I said, I'm new at this but once I get it figured out I will no longer be a pain to you. I'm sorry for causing you grief, but in a day or two I'm hoping you won't have to tell me things again. I got another rejection from you today and will edit it and resubmit tomorrow...

Super THICK newbie with questions

Hi, I'm Avie, and was turned on to this group via Common Ties. I tend to leap before I look, and I submitted some articles last nite and was already rejected because it said I didn't specify a category. Don't know if it's me or the dialup mode, but in trying to submit, the site disappears and then r...
