Utter Newbie - want to be a writer

[ptosis]

Hello, I've heard about and want to be a writer for CC but I'm listed as a customer and read the must read for auther's but I I just started 5 minutes ago and don't know how to start. I'm stuck in idle and I can shift.

Hello,
CC has two different ways to sign up: as a customer and as an author. Try logging out and then re-signing up as an author. You'll have to take a short quiz. Good luck!

"by choosing Your Content in the left-hand menu, as well." - - - I have no such link . what am I doking wrong? Oh never mind _ I see the answer now - I want to change loging from customer to auther....

Once you are signed into CC, there's a menu bar on the left with all of the various options including "Submit Article" and "Requested Content." You must be signed in as an Author to see these links.

Got it! thanks for the quick answer!

I must be too stupid to write because I logged out, and at the login page I don't see any box to click as customer or writer - I guess CC has enough writers and don't want any more.

They use a "universal" login. I assume you have a different email/password combo for each account? Just sign in as the username/password for the writer account you just created. For example, I have a customer and an author account. I have a different user name for each.
