The thing with these is that they are an attempt to have marks self-select. If a person is gullible enough to fall for an obviously stupid message, then that person is likely a good target to be fleeced. Actually, just what honey said.

The best thing I ever did for my career was to start writing articles on CodeProject. Some of the reasons why I believe it's helped: * Demonstrates your ability to present ideas. * Showcases your technical knowhow and creativity. * Gives you the opportunity to demonstrate polite social interactions in comments. * Shows that you're willing to put yourself out there. * You get to connect with some great people on the site. -Daniel

The defaults weren't set for my last articles either. There might be something else going on there. Cheers, Daniel

I'm writing a magazine article and I'd like to include a link to a CodeProject article. I'm wondering if CodeProject has short format URL for articles; like Bitly but specific to CodeProject. Cheers, Daniel

Okay, thanks Chris. Sean also helped me out. Cheers, Daniel

A reader has reported, and I have seen first hand, the images in my article being broken. In Chrome and Edge on my desktop they are fine, but on my smart phone the images are broken.

I'm using MathJax in one of my articles, which is supported by CodeProject. Is there a way to change dollar sign delimiters in math blocks? I would like to use: ```text

\[ x + y = z \]

``` Rather than: ```text

$ x + y = z $

``` The block format is described in Using LaTeX in articles on CodeProject[^]

No worries at all, Sean.

In the latest newsletter 'The Best Articles of August' were announced. However, the Survey Voting Form shows that voting ends on '22 Sep 2017'. As far as I can tell, the competition is still running. It is also still shown atop the CodeProject homepage. Our Mailouts[^]

Cheers Sean!

In case you're interested, I just published Authoring CodeProject Articles in Markdown. I've created a markdown parser for Markdown Monster that produces HTML compatible with the article submission wizard. Ultimately it would be great if there was an API for article submission. That way you could author and upload an article directly with a tool such as Markdown Monster. Cheers, Daniel

I'm not receiving email notifications for messages on my articles. My email address is set correctly. Anyone know why this could be? Cheers, Daniel

Hi Sean, I tried it. When I save my article it changes the iframe element to:

If I preview the article, I see the video. But when I save the article, the iframe changes to the placeholder div. Cheers, Daniel

Unfortunately it doesn't work. When I place the following in my article, it's stripped out:

Hi, I'm trying to place a YouTube video at the top of my article:

When I save the article, it is changed to this:

How can I add a video to my article? Regards, Daniel

Thanks Chris.

Hey Chris, I'm about to publish some new articles on UWP. Could you advise me where they should go please. Thanks, Daniel

Daniel Vaughan

A section is what I was thinking, Chris. The closest was WinRT, but people aren't going to look under that for UWP content.
