Thanks everyone who submitted articles for the contest. A lot of you wrote some really excellent articles. We will announce the winners monday of next week (5/26).

We are monitoring who is posting ratings, and what rating they are giving, so please be honest and fair with the rating system. There are some EXCELLENT articles on the site so far, and we don’t want anyone missing out on reading them if they see a dishonest poor rating by it. Blatant unfair ratings will not be tolerated.

Thank You
