Using the AC Submission Template

For anyone using the Associated Content’s submission template to write and submit articles, it can be quite frustrating to see the dreaded “Session Expired” alert. As I was perusing the forums there I noticed that there were quite a few complaints (on various threads) that this had happened. These folks are angry and frustrated because they’ve put a lot of effort into their work only to lose it that fast.

I suggest that you don’t create your articles via the submission template. Instead use a word processing program, such as Microsoft Office Word, or OpenOffice, which a free program similar to Word. Using one of these programs helps you to format your article, as well as prevent the loss of all your work by letting your session expire. When you work on your project, simply “Save As” and then choose the “.txt” option. Keep in mind that using the “.txt” option will allow you to copy your article and then paste it into the submission template without adding the odd characters that MS Word adds when formatting is changed from .doc to html.

Save yourself the time and aggravation, as well as keeping a copy of your work on your own computer, by producing the work on your own program. Then when it’s time to submit simply Copy, Paste, and save.

I’m looking into blogging for money. I already have some blogs under my pseudonym, but I don’t know if they would qualify as my language is less than lady-like. Still, this one might do ok, if I can get a groove going.

I’m not really an expert on anything so I guess I’ll have to really research to find stuff about which to post. No ranting and raving here. Hmmm. Guess it could be a family type blog. We’ll see. We’ll see.

Not trying to get rich here, just trying to make enough money to buy some siding. Our poor house is in bad shape on the outside. And the dog needs neutered. I think I might just pluck my own eyes out if I have to see him lick himself anymore.

A little frustrating

Searching for a stay-at-home job is daunting. I was doing well with NewsStand, but that seems to be faltering. And now I’m trying my hand at Associated Content (get paid to write. Join via the link to the left). Still, that’s a little hard when you’re perpetually blocked. Maybe networking will bring me some luck.

I’m a member of WAHM.com message boards. There is so much information there. Unfortunately it seems that so many telecommuting jobs are scams. I think I’ll do an article on that when I get the time (though many already have). But if you’re at all risque, then I suggest texting. It’s like being a phone sex operator, but using text messages instead. It’s a private folder on WAHM.com so as not to offend ultra-sensitive visitors, but there’s wealth of information there. Lots of money to be had, too. I’m not that brave, though I might consider it when Lillady goes to school. Why not?
