I was directed to post to this discussion by OriginalGriff regarding an issue with a technical blog post. OG specifically hoped that Sean would be able to look into this.

I posted an article to my Blogger site two days ago. That was downloaded during the evening by CodeProject and showed up in my Technical Blogs list. I edited the article in CP because the Blogger formatting transfers poorly to CP, and I want the posts to look decent and be readable. When OriginalGriff reviewed the changes he noted in a comment that it was showing up in the "Articles" queue. You can read the commentary here: Processing SQL Server FILESTREAM Data, Part 4 - Readin' and Writin'. After some back-and-forth OG suspected something was amiss and suggested I post here.

Some other items that might be useful:
1. The post still shows under the heading "Technical Blogs" on my profile, so it doesn't seem to have become an article;
2. Two other blogs posts that got downloaded and that I edited did end up in the "Technical Articles" section, although I did nothing purposefully to trigger that;
3. I did have some problems saving the edits. I kept getting returned to the editing page when I tried to save, then the page would show an alert indicating I have unsaved changes. Actually had to redo some edits.

I hope this helps.

I've noticed this happening to your blog posts as well and fix them when I catch them. I just went and fixed the remaining "articles" and made them blog entries.

Unfortunately I can't replicate how it happens. It doesn't seem to be consistent. If you ever discover the exact steps to replicate the issue please let me know.

Thanks,
