I gotta agree with Dave man. It was more like a code dump. I have one such article myself, and deleted the rest. I left one because because it's still something more than a quick Googling will pull up. Code dumps have their place, but not as an article.

Nice articles..

Well there is nothing stopping you doing your next articles on them....

I don't see any problem with the links you've used (although links to copies of jquery libraries on your own server would ring alarm bells, with me), but you could maybe explain things a little better.
For example, in one of the articles, you refer to "My image page with over 1000 images". That too would ring an alarm, even though it is just a page with a set of sample images.
But that's the point: had you described them as "A sample page with a set of 1000 SFW images", no bells would have rung, and no itchy trigger fingers would have done the dirty.
One way of writing it makes people think "Oh! That's helpful!", while the other can make them think "What's he up to?" (And note that you would probably react the same way yourself, if reading articles by other people.)
I would also comment that people look for articles because they don't know how to do something, so it's usually helpful to give more description of what the smarter lines of code do and the particulars of what the variables are for, but that's more to do with augmenting article-writing skills than with the topic at hand -- although lack of that kind of detail is something that we see all too often in "articles" by people with ulterior motives, so it can also ring an alarm bell.
Don't be disheartened by what happened, but do analyse it by thinking "Why would alarm bells have rung, causing people to overreact?"

I don't mind alarm bells and feedback.. but the snooze button was hit for 6-8 months.
Some of the tips have been sitting around unedited for 6-8 months with bookmarks and high marks. Then, within the last day or two,  they were suddenly edited. If it is good enough for March and May, then why edit them in November?

What designates it as a tip or trick? I don't see much of anything saying it is one. The couple of links I checked out are great tips, but they don't really qualify as a real article. Not that it's related to the link issue, but hey I figured I'd throw that out there because that what programmers do.

They were listed as tips, not articles - sorry for the confusion, I updated the original post to clarify as "tips".

Not sure why but your joke reminded me of this true story:
Many years ago while at my father's uncle's funeral a couple of the old men there told a story about the deceased (nicknamed "Jigs" for reasons unknown). Way back when Jigs was a young man he had an old uncle known for his jokes and tricks. The uncle approached Jigs one day holding a newspaper and said "I'll bet if I put this paper on the floor and I stand on one edge and you stand on the other - you can't push me off." Jigs took the bet. The uncle placed the paper in a doorway, closed the door, then stood on his edge and started laughing. Jigs stood on his edge, punched through the door bare handed and shoved the no longer laughing uncle off the paper - winning the bet.
For me the story is all the better since I only new Jigs as a decrepit old man with hunched shoulders and arthritis.

Abbott and Costello used that (with a handkerchief) -- I'm pretty sure it was in "Lost in Alaska" (1952).

I'm taking part in Movember (again) this year. For those that haven't heard of it, Movember (no that isn't a spelling mistake) is a campaign to raise awareness for men's health issues such as prostate cancer. To take part all men need to grow a moustache during the month of November (hence the name of Movember = Moustache + November).
I'd be very grateful for any donations to this very worthwhile cause. To donate or to just find out more about this wonderful campaign (and so see me looking like an idiot with a moustache) please pop over to http://mobro.co/domburf[^]
Many thanks
