Re: I am ready to explode!

Where's Phil? I need a partner in a HAPPY DANCE! Wahoooo.

I just got an article accepted. Phil was a gem and gave me some help or I may still be out in the cold. When I saw the email in my inbox, first I was like :shock: and then I was like :lol: .

Thanks, Phil.

Re: I am ready to explode!

Phil, I appreciate your kind offer. The reason given was, "We do not accept content with grammar or word choice errors, punctuation errors, or other errors." When I sent it I thought it was fine. Now I think it is a hopeless case and I would be better to rewrite it from scratch. :? The oth...

Re: What's 1000 pixels?

Is allWisdom correct? I have a couple of shots I'd like to submit but they are 640 by 480. If they get rejected because the size is not acceptable, do they count towards the three strikes limit?

Re: I am ready to explode!

Okay, so I arrived all full of excitement and posted three articles right away. I have been on tenterhooks for the last week but have now just got my first rejection notice. I am afraid that if the other two articles were also to be rejected Ed's patience with me would be at an end and I'd be asked ...

Re: Can I swap articles which are under review?

Thank you, Jak,

That makes sense when I think about it. I was hoping that the replacement would take the place in the queue of the one I pulled. Patience is a virtue as they say.

Can I swap articles which are under review?

I submitted my limit of three articles for review on 1st and 2nd September and while waiting for the results I have been working on another. I used the advice I have read here in the process of writing it and I am much happier with the results than I am with any of the others. I think this new one i...

Re: "Will be back tomorrow" - can I submit for this now?

There is a shiny new Recently Searched tool? I think I've lost mine. I don't see it on the navigation panel... Would you tell me where to look for it please?

Both a suggestion and a request

Newbie alert! :? This morning I stumbled across a post by Ed which outlined in great detail how one should go about proof reading articles. New I maybe but I can already see the same questions get asked over and over again and it seems to me that article would address many of them. The suggestion pa...

Re: I am ready to explode!

Hi Phil and thanks for the welcome, The time spent waiting is also good lurking time. I am getting a lot of information just by reading questions and posts that have gone before.

I am ready to explode!

Hi and hello, I am happy to be here and excited too. I've submitted three articles. All are under review and now I can't submit any more. :shock: It's not as if I don't have a million other things to be doing but I am dying to see what happens with these articles. Actually I suspect all three will b...
