Article Submitted on Nov 26

[Jerry Heep]

I submitted an air conditioning repair article on Nov 26. It's been slightly longer than 2 months and it hasn't been "published". I was wondering if the file got lost or trashed, or something.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Jerry, unfortunately Jason keeps a pretty hectic schedule. Sometimes it takes quite a while before he can find the time to format and post an article. I'm assuming that there is much more to formatting an article with photos and such than meets the eye.

I submitted about 5 articles to Jason through Dick Cutting, the photo editor. This was back on May 17, 2000. Since then, only one article has been posted. This was back on November 24, 2000. At the time, his backlog had grown to about 6 months due to other priorities. I don't think submissions get lost, but I also don't think they're a #1 priority for him either. He has a lot of work to do, both with the forums and in his "real life". I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

Steve.

Noted, I bet he IS busy. Is there any way for us to help him out before we submit? For example, formating the article differently, numbering pictures, etc.

Yep. How much do you know about HTML code?

I don't know anything about it, but that's one of the buzzwords I've seen associated with formatting FAQs, so I'll bet it applies to articles too.

I know some HTML code if that helps. I'm a bit rusty but I can relearn real quick. Does Jason need someone to put the articles in HTML? If he does, I'll volunteer to help.

spepin- your quotes always crack me up!

I bet I can do that.

I should be able to upload the files tomorrow. Is there any problem if I Zip them all together into one file that I attach???

Jason, that's exactly how I submitted the articles to Dick. A seperate text file referencing the attached photos.
