Ah, thanks. That's exactly what I needed to know!

Just a quick question - no complaint implied :D What's the review cycle time nowadays? It's been a year or so since I submitted new articles, but I've got three in the pipeline, and I'm looking for an idea of how long to wait before I wonder if something is wrong. I don't want to stack up a bunch in...

Wow, two rejections in three articles! Sorry, Ed; my hiatus has made me sloppy. Fixed the first one, and now I think I've fixed the second. I'll try and proofread more carefully - I know you're busy!

Something I would like to have access to is a list of the searches performed by clients - particularly clients who *don't* find what they want. Maybe a min-max analysis of search numbers vs hits, but the raw data (search terms, number of hits) would give writers (and CC) valuable insight into what t...

Ah, that explains it. I've been away for a while; I've been used to the alacrity with which Ed approves articles, so I was a little puzzled. By the way, nice changes to the site!

Fortunately, Ed doesn't seem to hate commas. Otherwise, I would NEVER get an article accepted.

Ah, ok. Thanks for takin' the time to provide the link, I appreciate it. That's in regard to representation of their products, then. Of course, I'm not sure how they would couch any challenge to an editorial about an Apple product in which I included my own images, but hey. Gotta give 'em an "A...

Celeste -

Got a link for that? I'd like to read the context.

Thanks!

Celeste -

Yeah, but Microsoft is the company that put prohibitions against saying bad things about their products in their EULA. Gotta love 'em.

'Course, I'm not sure where I would get a screenshot of a Windows product. :D

Thanks for the feedback, Ed. I've not seen many cases, but I'm pretty sure legal exposure is low in the case of editorial and tutorial usage - of course, IANAL; I'm just going by a few quick searches of legal databases (it had never occurred to me that screenshots in this context might not be consid...

Ah... I've never seen that discussion before; in this case, a customer specifically asked if I could include screen shots for some of my more technical articles. Since it's not a private request, but discussion around a public request, I'm not sure how to proceed. If it were a private request, I wou...

Heh... you mean Office '07 - Office '08 is for Macintosh only. :D

Hey - This may be primarily a question for Ed, but someone else might know. If I want to include screenshots or photographs in an article, can I embed them in the .doc or .rtf? or do I need to submit them as "photographs"?

Thanks!

Because I'm not very smart, I often have to click "submit this article" more than once. I've noticed two things that should probably be fixed. The article selection vanishes between submits - probably because the variable isn't getting posted back to the form ( I've not snooped into the qu...

Done. Thanks again, Ed! I know you do yeoman's work here. :D I think I'll be writing a few more articles this month. I think so, anyway. Right now I'm all embroiled in the political arena. Getting ready to watch the debates tonight.
