    I'm going through the motions that I'll be demonstrating in my Azure Challenge article, and I'm up to 45 screenshots so far. "I've seen articles with more," you say. Well, this is just for the second challenge, and I'm less than 25% of the way done. :(( Supposing he reads my article, somebody might want to warn Christian Graus that he's gonna need to pay for more internet bandwidth first (I believe I read at one point that he has to pay per GB). :rolleyes:

    Personally, I would be a little annoyed. May be you could work out some different layout. I don't know how as I am creativity incapable. Off topic, you succumbed to Azure?

      There is value in succinctness, but I want to make it possible for a complete noob to be able to follow my article and do something really advanced. Pictures are great for that. Yep, I am an Azure addict. This contest is only fueling my addiction. Hoping to really start using it at work soon, but company politics will dictate if/when that happens. This article may even help move things along in that regard.

        From my point of view there is no "Too Many". It should be reasonable amount. This can be 10 or 50. However, the Azure challenge is not a traditional codeproject article. It's a challenge with 5 steps, which means it's like 5 articles in one.

          Indeed, though I really sort of skipped the first challenge (I may shift things around later to go for the grand prize), so it's more like 4 for me. Assuming all 4 challenges have the same number of images, I may end up with 600 images for one article. :omg: Hopefully they relax the 10MB max file limitation. :~

            I'll try to have only a few images in challenge 3 and 5. These are the "coding" challenges, so i'll post code instead. But challenge 4 (The "setup a VM" challenge) will have a lot i guess.

              I just took a look see at your second challenge entry, and it looks very similar to the idea I'm going for. Only, I'm working with Umbraco rather than WordPress. Break a leg. ;)

                  :laugh: Or in the very least websites! Which just happened to me. I spent about the last hour trying to figure out why I was getting an HTTP 503 error. I eventually just deleted the deployment and re-uploaded and it worked. Must have been some funky Azure error. X|

                    That sounds almost like when you have weird, unexplainable errors while debugging in Visual Studio and a Rebuild All restores order in the galaxy. Or it's simply time for you to go to bed. :) Best of luck. Soren Madsen
