Re: Should Acronyms Be Capitalized?

Thanks Ed. I would have probabally missed that one again. Funny how some words have become proper names and require capitalization while other proper names have become verbs, as in to Google something. I re-wrote those overly verbose paragraphs, and am sending it up again. Thanks again for everythin...

Should Acronyms Be Capitalized?

I was a bit surprised today to receive a rejection of my article Search Engine Reputation Management. Usually, the articles I write in this area go through without a hitch. I do sometimes have issues when I attempt to write an article for public request when I am not a subject matter expert. What re...

Re: Can technical jargon or acronyms cause a rejection?

Thanks Ed and others. I'll take the advice to sleep on it and proof read it again tomorrow and then have someone else proof it again. It amazes me how I can over look one of my own mistakes and never see it when someone else can point it out right away.

More than one offer for full rights

Hello Everyone, I'm pretty new here, so I am still trying to get a handle on exactly how some things work. I received email today stating that I had received an offer for full rights to an article I had posted. There was no request for the article, it was just something I felt like writing. When I l...

Re: First Article Rejected

First Article Rejected

Hello All, Thanks for taking the time to read this post. As the subject says, my first article, Popup Advertising, was rejected, and the reason given was "Submission does not follow our guidelines". After taking the time to read the guidelines’ a bit better, I realized I had submitted it i...
