If I am understanding your question correctly, you can update your own article, but the update would also go in the moderation queue unless you were a platinum level / trusted author as ProgramFOX suggests. You can see how to update your own article here:

I just wrote my first article and have a question about the downloads and reputation points. My article shows 711 downloads but if i look at my profile, I have only 12 points for source downloads. Hows does the download points system work?
|
|

|

If your files get downloaded multiple times by the same user, you don't get reputation multiple times. And if you download your own files, you also don't get points.
So probably there is someone who downloaded your files a lot of times.

Ok thanks - It just seemed a little strange that someone would download the same file 699 times.
|
|
|
|
|
That's very strange indeed. It might also be a bug (but the chances are low because I downloaded your files, and you got points for my download). But I can't check that because I'm not an admin.

Yesterday your response had a admins name and you said the caret sign would notify him. Now I see that this is gone. I now have over 1,000 downloads. How to I contact an administrator?

|
|
I got no reply, so I'm not sure whether I really contacted him. To contact the admins, you can send an email to chris (at) codeproject (dot) com

Hello,
I wanted to understand the difference between a blog and an article. How to write a blog? what is an RSS feed?
These terms are a little confusing.
Thanks,

If I am understanding the underlying purpose behind your questions, an article is an in-depth, exhaustive, educational piece. It is meant to teach a fellow developer while aimed at (not always, but frequently) the broadest possible variety of skill levels, starting from problem and working to solution in great detail, using code examples (which they explain in detail), and sharing their source code.
Technical blog entries on CodeProject were created because there were a number of great developer blogs that were not getting enough exposure. We use their RSS feed to pull their entries onto the site. Typically a technical blog entry we allow on the site would have the same "spirit" as an article, it simply would not be required to have the same depth. Over time a number of editorial pieces have made their way onto CodeProject as well, provided they have a relevant teaching focus and are about a current technology.
Creating your own developer blog to get a post published on CodeProject might be a little backwards. If your goal is publication on CodeProject I strongly recommend you read this:
A Guide To Writing Articles For Code Project[^]
And look over this submission from a first time author who did a terrific job:
Avoiding InvokeRequired[^]
Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks,

My Thanks Sean,
First off all i thank you to take out time for me  . Secondly yes now i understand whats a blog and an article(at least little bit). I can infer that article writing requires more effort than blog writing.
However i have many articles left pending to be written. I am thinking to convert them to a blog( i just want to cut all the formatting stuff ).
Because i feel that blog is a more casual way of expressing your knowledge.
Thanks a ton,
Rahul

Hi
I need to find out if I have posted an article on codeproject.com, can i post same article on another articles website? does codepeoject allows this ?
|
|
|
|
|
If you posted your article here first, yes. If you posted somewhere else first, that's a different story.
Thanks,
