Thanks man that helped! Out of my 29 articles only 3 still have the problem. Its probably something within the article that is messing those ones up. I can live with it if its only a few.

Whats up Ryan,

I have a problem with some of my articles. On the teaser part, some of my articles have a bunch of HTML/coding jargon vs the actual text. I dont know if I am putting something in my articles that is causing this? Do you have any ideas?

Thanks for your help and editing!

Hey Ryan,

I was wondering if you could take a look at my most recent article. No one has edited it yet, but I have made like four tweaks since submitting it.

Thanks a lot for reading and editing my MMA article. How do I get it put on the proper fighter's pages? My first couple of articles just seemed to find their way to the right places, but my last two were never put in the real rotations. They appear under the "Most Recent Articles" thing, but that's it. Is there somewhere I can submit it for quality-checking? The article has received six or seven "Pick of the Day" awards from other MMA readers.

What style does this site use? I use Chicago Manual, 'cause that's required for work; Chicago Manual states that numbers 1-10 may be numerical if they're listed as a sequence, meaning game 1, pozterisk break 3, etc.

Hey Ryan,

Got a grammatical question for you.

Which is right: "The Carolina Panthers defense allowed 100 yards to..." or "The Carolina Panthers' defense allowed 100 yards to...".

Gotcha that makes sense. I actually like this title how it is but I'll definitely keep that in mind in the future when I'm coming up with titles

by Bob

Hey Ryan, I noticed you have (twice) edited Ken Rosenthal's articles. I was curious as to whether or not you had to get special permission to do so, since he isn't really a writer for BR, these are Fox articles reprinted with permission. Any editing changes the content, and I would be surprised that a nationally known writer would let BR edit his work. Not that you aren't capable, please don't read too much into what I'm saying. You are a terrific editor actually. It's just that these guys tend to have big egos.

Hey man,

Edits are one thing, but finding that Rogan picture was above and beyond the call. I looked for one via BR and couldn't find it so I gave up, settled on Rampage (who WILL be back - fighter not the picture). I appreciate that you went that extra bit. Thanks very much, makes a lot more sense.

That sounds cool to me. I enjoy the laid-back way of life, too. My lady also gives me instructions... and I don't mind at all. It makes life easier when I don't have to guess.

What's the market like in NC? My girlfriend has some family out there and I've been giving thought to leaving NY. I don't want to just uproot and go somewhere that's too difficult to handle without some familiarity/support, you know?

Hey Ryan,

I wrote an open love letter to Candace Parker. It doesn't need any editing, it's very short, I just need you to do whatever it is you do that allows it to accumulate "reads."

Hey man,

Once again, thanks for the edits. I'm used to writing longer prose pieces from my days writing law school exams so it really helps to have someone who is good at breaking down the paragraphs without doing the same to their substance. I know looking at them that they are too long, but breaking them up like you do goes against my instinct. Gotta get used to it though; makes the column SO much easier to read. Appreciate it.

thanks for the edits on the "helio castroneves dances with the law" piece. obviously i've still got a couple minor style guide issues to learn about TV show names, legal "notes," and creating proper external links/ i really appreciate the help in that area. you only have to show me once and i will do better in the future.

i can't believe that with the placement of that article so deep in the bowels of b/r (it's tough to get to the IRL section i have found) that it has generated as many views as it has. i think the headline did it. a generic web search on google for "castroneves dances" brings up the article first in the list of results, as does "helio dances," "castroneves dances," or "helio castroneves dances" on the google news search site.

thanks again for the edits and the compliment.

"J.T.O. Likely on Suicide Watch After Crushing Defeat in New Orleans"

Given the tone and direction of the article, I thought it made sense. I definitely can see where it can be viewed wrong. It got changed, but that's when the posts started becoming more inflammatory. Oh well.
