Whatever

UPDATE: Links go to Yahoo News, articles gone, can no figure out how to remove link.

I printed as many of my self-published Associated Content turned Yahoo Contributor (YC) articles as I could during a visit to library. Seems like all those articles still appear at Yahoo Voices (YV).

History: a homeless blogger asked readers to read his articles at Associated Content (AC), which I promptly did. In order to leave a comment, if memory serves me, one needed to get an account. I have had so many accounts at so many places all over the web, it took me a few days before I decided to get an AC account.

The blurb said something like: Do you have something to say on this topic? (blah, blah, blah, get an account and get paid to write). Yes, I most certainly did have a lot to say regarding the homeless topic. My first two articles came straight from my Mary website. Creation of that website is another long story. I had already spent many, many hours on creating the site; research already done, turned a bit of it into my first two articles.

9 Marvelous Mary's

A year later, I wrote Celebrate Women's History Month, writing about women named Mary.

AC kept changing the site, making it harder to navigate. The list of published articles was simple to use. Scroll the page, at a glance determine which articles were submitted for pay, no pay, exclusive, non-exclusive, in addition to how many page views each article received.

Not so with the current YC/YV listing. Tedious process locating which articles I needed to copy here before they disappeared from the web. Much easier to just print them and let it all go. Most were garbage articles anyway.

Whatever.
