New WYSIWYG Editor
Rate This Post: 
In the new Beta version of our members interface, there is a brand new next-generation WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that attemps to solve the reason why we shut down and tossed the original WYSIWYG editor that we used back in 2004. And… you’ll be able to shut it off or turn it on with your new ACCOUNT PREFERENCES option.

Thought I’d share what’s on our minds today with respect to power users of our system… ie: The top 250 authors with more than 100 articles listed. It’s our intention that as soon as the beta interface is made live in a few weeks as standard for everyone that we will begin adding advanced tools to help power users to slice through the membership interface faster and be able to do more and extract more value in less time from the process.

Beta Transition Time Table

It’s becoming difficult to fix problems in the old members.ezinearticles system when we’ve halted development on it a month ago… therefore, without any major problems over the next two weeks of further testing, we’ll begin a transition time-table starting the week of June 12th. If you’re a member, watch for private emails alerting you to the upcoming modifications / improvements along with the transition time-table.

In a recent press release this month by EzineArticles expert author Kevin Stirtz, he said: “Kevin Stirtz, a professional speaker and author based in Minneapolis, was named to the Top 10 List of Marketing Authors for the EzineArticles.com website today.”
So I started typing off a private email to Kevin to ask him to take it down as we didn’t issue any such award or recognition, but it was then that I realized that he saw his 37 marketing articles listed in the top 10 authors BY ARTICLE QUANTITY listed here: Top Authors in Business:Marketing

I’ve mentioned Bonnie Jo Davis’s blog before, but recently she has upped her posting frequency and it’s worth a visit to see what she has to say from an article submission service provider viewpoint: ArticlesThatSell

Does It Take Time For An Author To Get A Following?
Rate This Post:
(6 votes, average: 3.33 out of 5)
Newbie Platinum EzineArticles expert author Keith writes to us this week, “I’m a relative newbie to Ezine Articles and want to make the most out of the experience by drawing as many people to my websites as possible…that is the normal qwest by we authors right? Well, I’ve submitted 14 articles so far, had a large number of visitors, but a small number of publishers request my work. So, the question that is screaming at me is: “Why don’t they take my articles?”"
He further writes, “Is this a normal process in getting accepted? Does it take writers a while to build up to a following? Am I writing about topics that aren’t popular? Of the 600+ publishers that have visited my work so far only 9 have been taken…isn’t that an extremely low number? How do I raise that number? Are my articles too short ( 350-550 ) or too long ( 1000+ )? What can I do to make my work more attractive?”
Let’s dispell some misconceptions today for Keith and many new authors:

Ann Zuccardy - Author Spotlight
Rate This Post:
(4 votes, average: 2.75 out of 5)
I’ve been meaning to mention EzineArticles Expert Author Ann Zuccardy for almost a year now…
It was thanks to Dina’s AMM (Article Marketing Mania) Ryze group that I learned more about Ann.
What earns Ann the “Author Spotlight” of the week is her consistency as an article writer and her colorful/positive and upbeat tone within her articles. According to her blog, she calls her writing style, “a dash of juicy food commentary, sprinkled with a dollop of compassionate irreverence by Ann Zuccardy…”
Recently I was talking to one of the other founders of the “Wild Women Entrepreneurs” and who did I find as I was scrolling down the short-list of founders? Yep, Ann Zuccardy.
Zuccardy as an author is very reflective of many of the women authors within our site…Entreprenurial, risk-taking, and always looking for ways to do what she/they love to do while supporting herself/themselves. When Ann’s daughter was a toddler in 1996 she started Vermont Shortbread Company, a choice that allowed her to stay at home with her daughter but at the same time gave her a means to support herself while doing something she loved. Be sure to check out her recent articles.

Last year I made the decision that wherever I was in any of the 50 United States, I wanted to have broadband Internet access with me. Thanks to my little Sony’s TX670 ultra-lite notebook with built-in Cingular broadband Internet access, I’ve been able to do almost everything I can in the office, on the road or whenever I’m traveling.
Know what I use for my home page on that notebook? Local.Google.com! Millions of people like you and I are using local search to help us find the things we need and this presents a massive traffic attraction opportunity: Article Writing For Localized Search!
