edit: I was too quick to jump the gun I guess. And, I guess you guys were indeed changing some still since the last time I posted :) - I just want to confirm that now I received the mail from Submit@codeproject.com informing me that one post (out of three that were pulled) so far was successfully published. Anyways, I guess this thread can now be successfully closed :); below is the previous reply, obviously :doh: Hey Chris, Thanks for taking the time to reply. Sure, I understand, and what I did was I changed the category listing to include the full post content and I actually got a second email today saying that: "Your article feed Nikola Brežnjak's Blog has been successfully consumed at 1 Feb 2015. 3 new articles were pulled.". Now, first thing which looks strange to me is the date, and second, more important thing is that I usually saw those posts that were actually pulled in and I could see them that they're in the "approval" phase. Also, when the post would be "approved" I would see something along the lines of: 23 Sep 2014 9:22pm 10 Author Technical Blog consumed Technical Blog Custom YES/NO dialog..... Now, I don't see any of that. So, I would appreciate if you could explain this to me or look into it if it's some kind of a problem. Thank you, Nikola

Hi, I have quite a few articles here on CP consumed over the last few years. However, I just noticed that they aren't getting consumed anymore. The only thing that comes to mind is that I've set only to show excerpts on the category listing - could this be the reason why the posts are not being consumed? I did a little more digging and found out that the feed http://www.nikola-breznjak.com/blog/category/codeproject/feed/[^] indeed shows only excerpts and so I guess you can't pull them. Is my only option showing the full content on the category pages again (I had a reason for doing it like this) or is there some other solution? edit: I would just like to confirm that indeed - once I've set my category feed to show the whole contents, the articles got pulled again. Anyways, the qq remains - is this the only solution?

I totally agree. Ever since I upgraded to iOS8 on my 4S I'm swearing it on a daily basis :/ (yeah, I had to be the early iOS8 adopter, before people started writing on the net it's their evil scheme to get us to update :(( ). IMO they should allow downgrade in this case, as the upgrade (iPhone 6), in my country (CRO), is more expensive than the newest entry level model of MacBook Air 13 (unbelievable I know?!)

You are totally correct. First time I posted my first post I had the posts set up in a way that they were showing full content (not excerpts). After that I changed it to only show excerpts, and posted two additional posts. Then, when I saw that the codeproject wasn't pulling in my blog feed I changed the posts settings back to the full content, but that didn't help so I was lost. Currently posts are set to show full content, thereby the feed shows the full content of all posts. Hope this helps now. Thanks, Nikola

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I was wondering, does the code also count as words? If so, could you please just review this post (http://nikola-breznjak.com/blog/php/using-prepared-statements-in-php-with-mysqli/[^]), as if I'm not mistaking it has 1375 words. Thank you, Nikola

Hi, recently I added my blog feed and the first article got pulled fine. Now when I added more posts none of them are getting consumed. Now, I've added the CodeProject link to the bottom of every post but still it's not working. On my blog feed though I can't seem to see this tag: http://nikola-breznjak.com/blog/feed/[^] Do you maybe have some suggestions what should I try to do?

After I finished uni 3 years ago, got a job and been here since.

I believe you will find PHP Objects, Patterns and Practice by Matt Zandstra very usefull.
