> Or just use an established site like CodeProject.Org I really like CodeProject, but the people who comment on articles are often mean and/or clueless. It can be brutal. I was going to post articles there several times, but I'm not prepared to deal with the idiots. Posters who rate articles and submit public questions to authors should consider the intent of the article and its target audience before they rate it. If it's an intro article you shouldn't slam it because it doesn't discuss disassembly of CLR code, or stack-walks to determine code access security restrictions. Similarly, if it is a deep article you shouldn't post introductory level questions because someone who has the expertise and takes the time to document the inner workings of .net is probably not the right person to teach you how to compile a program. I've seen people give poor ratings on CodeProject for a plethora of dump reasons. I wish they'd require people who give bad ratings to give at least a 1-line explanation of why they rated it low. It's not good enough to say "this article sucks"! Instead, you should say "this article did a poor job of explaining x, y, and z." Constructive criticism helps us to improve, but idiots just piss us off. Sites that publish articles without a rating or comment system are sometimes a safer venue. It's true that it's harder to do Q and A with the author, but if the author has a contact link you can email him directly. I like the graphic layout of freedotnet, and it seems like a good alternative to me. We can have more than one site for contributions. Google knows all, anyway.
