there was no specific requirement, originally to show code

That is correct.

Provided you give the article enough context and detail, that should bring it back into the remit of CodeProject.

Sadly, this is true.

Good luck.

Is my published article. However there is a video link at the top. It is not embedding the video. Rather, only "Video" is coming. Can somebody please fix that to a video window where user can play the video?

No problem Grasshopper.iics. I have added the embedded video. Please note, if you need to make updates to this article in the future, I will have to do them so the video remains.

Regarding Voting

Why dont you show the list of persons who had voted. It will be very helpful for the author. Because sometimes we are getting good comments on the article but the voting shows poor. So we can come to know, whether the people who had really gone through article has done the voting or somebody else had voted.

Because if I want you to know it was me I'll write a comment. If I don't write a comment I don't want you to know I voted. If voting isn't anonymous I won't vote -- which do you want?

Babu_Abdulsalam13-Feb-13 17:46

13-Feb-13 17:46

Do you mean to say the persons who are writing comments are voting? Because if the poor rating is given, I want to know the reason for it.

You don't get to know unless people tell you.

Anyone can vote any darn way they like.

I don't know which section I should choose for my article

13-Feb-13 22:09

If someone votes 1, 2 or 3, (s)he must post a comment. In that case, you know who voted for your article. If someone votes 4 or 5, (s)he isn't required to post a comment. If he/she don't post a comment, then you don't know who voted. But if he/she post a comment, then you know who voted for your article.

Re: I doubt about the section of my article

Hi,

I'm writing an article about how bitwise operators work. But because bitwise operators are operators that are available in many languages (C#, VB.NET, C, C++ ...), so I don't know which section I should choose for my article.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but why not just show examples for each language that you are discussing, and let the reader look up their own reference for any languages you do not support.

Are you presenting some example code? If so, you choose the language in which you are writing your code.

Yes, but I write code in C# and VB.NET.

Editing Blog Feed....unmitigated disaster.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for your response. I'm able to see the contents now but not the download links for my code.

Every time I try to edit my Blog Feed, which has HTML markup, the editor corrupts the text.

Sandeep Mewara recommended I post a message here.
Here is a link to the post.

Steve. Have a look at it now (you may need to Ctrl+F5). I've updated the feed and it's been pushed into live now. The HTML should be good to go.

It looks perfect.

Is there anything I can do to avoid this in the future?

I just fiddled about with the spacing after the pre tags and changed the " to ' for the first JavaScript entry. After that, it seemed to be okay.

So you changed some spacing and replaced this valid JavaScript code:

<script src="Scripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

...with this valid JavaScript code:

<script src='Scripts/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

Gee, I don't see how I could have missed that.
