Another newbie from the UK

[eek]

Lisa, thanks for the info on Facebook. My mom & sister haven't been able to answer some of my specific questions about it. We shall see. For now, I'm spending more time on the CC forum than I probably should. But then again, it's nice to have you all for support.

Celeste - wow, that blows me away too. Email was as big as the invention of the telephone to me when it came along. But that was all I needed. My 13 yo daughter prefers to chat/IM, and wants to join facebook. (I said no, of course.) So I'm the bad guy around here, but I'm doing all I can to keep everyone from being sucked into a digital screen 24/7.

Debbi - I think you should rename it nootenanny.

Antonia - welcome back!!!!! I wondered if you'd be returning soon.

Antonia, I saw you posted somewhere else, and thought it was this thread.

If your articles haven't been reviewed yet, you may want to remove them, add your byline, and resubmit. But it's up to you. Putting in your byline is not required, but if you don't have one, the buyer can't really be held accountible for not including it in usage or unique articles. Buyers only recive the Word document and probably don't go back and ferret out your name later. They might end up putting "By Hairy Octopus"

I did this for one of my articles but then the timestamp changed and I worried that it had gone to the back of the queue for review. The suspense is killing me already (four days and counting) and I couldn't bear having to wait another week. To be honest, I'll be so overjoyed if I get these pieces accepted that I won't care about the byline in this case. Will definitely do it in future though.

Hi Everyone

HairyOctopus - I am lucky that I have always written US style because I worked for large American Companies (in the UK)! My documents are generally technical. I have set my spellchecker to US english. However I don't monitor it too much. Seems ok so far.

It took me over a week to have my first article reviewed. I wrote my second for a request (you can only do this once your first is rejected) those ones get reveiewed faster - it was rejected initially for typos. I resubmitted and it was accepted and sold within a day. Just hold your horses it will happen!!

When I was asking questions about the byline I hadn't clicked that the doc you upload is seperate from the info you put in the request dialog. So of course you can add your title and byline there and no-one can see it.

whoops have to go have a sickly little chappy to deal with

Can the byline be placed as part of the title?

My title by blah?

If not where should it go?

Put it below the title like:

My Title

By My Name

The article body.....blablabla...

That's what I ended up doing in my last article I submitted. I wish we received reasons why articles were rejected so we could work on them
