Ended Official BYC Article Writing Contest #1

[CoopdeVilleLSR]

is there a deadline for the articles?

Is any one else having trouble submitting their articles? I can't get it to work. It's still rejecting my titles.

Since there are folks on BYC who have suppressed immunity issues and other health problems, I wrote this article on health precautions. It is a compilation of information I gathered in order to keep my granddaughter (who had just completed cancer treatment) safe around my chickens.

One of these days have an "entertaining" article contest and I'll enter that. While I can keep a reader through the end of an article, my chicken-fu is weak.

I kept getting the message '______is not a valid article title' when trying to post my article, what's wrong?

Please send me a PM with the article title, the steps your taking before getting that message, and the browser / version you're using and we'll check it out.

is there a deadline for the articles?

No deadline yet. We weren't sure how quickly peeps would write, but as soon as we know we're around 30 articles we'll have a clear end date.

Sure!

You'll add the article to the Member Pages section.

Go to this page: https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/0/Member_Pages
Click on the “Add a Learning Center Article” button

Looks like this:





Once your article is posted, reply to this thread with a link to the article!!

Rob, you say, "Click on the “Add a Learning Center Article” button, but the button you have circled above in the example actually only says, "Add a member page". Is this the same function?? And how would the member pages I see displayed here make it onto the Learning Center Articles tab? I am a wee bit confused...
Thanks for any clarification!

Please excuse the bad formatting. I was having difficulties editing after pasting the article to the member pages section.
