Article Rewriter Tool - Reword or Paraphrase Text Content Markdown Syntax Documentation Note: This document is itself written using Markdown; you can see the source for it by adding ‘.text’ to the URL. Overview Philosophy Markdown is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as is feasible. Readability, however, is emphasized above all else. To this end, Markdown’s syntax is comprised entirely of punctuation characters, which punctuation characters have been carefully chosen so as to look like what they mean. Inline HTML Markdown’s syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a format for writing for the web. Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. For any markup that is not covered by Markdown’s syntax, you simply use HTML itself. The only restrictions are that block-level HTML elements — e.g. For example, to add an HTML table to a Markdown article: This is a regular paragraph. Note that Markdown formatting syntax is not processed within block-level HTML tags. Span-level HTML tags — e.g. Automatic Escaping for Special Characters © 4 < 5 1.

The topic is a very tricky one, as the accuracy for what works best is hard to nail down.

Englishland April Fool’s Day is the 1st day in April. It is celebrated in the United States, England, France, Scotland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Germany and Norway. The custom of shouting “April Fool!” comes from the United States. Nobody knows where the “April Fish” comes from. Perhaps, because April has the best fishing or because the zodiacal sign of Pisces rules in April. Today, in sweet shops they sell chocolate fish for April Fool’s Day. Friends send one another postcards, with some silly dialogue, with fish pictures. Other people pin a paper fish on someone’s back without being caught. In the USA people pins a paper sign on someone’s back saying “Kick me.” The most common joke is to make someone perform an unnecessary action, such as checking for an open zipper or a missing button. In Mexico and Spain, April Fool’s Day is on December 28 (called Day of the Holy Innocents). Generally, people play a trick on one another just to say : “I care you”.

How To Gather Ideas, Turn Them Into A Novel - & Finish It In her third article for Writers & Artists, Nail Your Novel author Roz Morris gives her advice for researching and developing your book ideas. Writing a novel is a lengthy undertaking. Many novices launch in, compelled to write by an idea, a situation, a character or a world. So how do professional writers create novels that hang together well, juggle subplots and characters, add subtext, themes, ingenious levels of literary resonance... in fact, how do they even get to the end? The answer is surprisingly simple. No two authors will be alike, of course. Different as we all are, there are certain things most of us do to get from Chapter 1 to The End. 1. Professional authors rarely start bashing the keys as soon as they’ve had the idea. That doesn’t mean they don’t chase the muse, they just do it in other ways. 2. In order to finish a novel, you need to roughly know where it's going. Usually we try to establish these basics: • Who are the characters? 3. Genres have their own conventions. 4.
25 Killer Combos for Google's Site: Operator There’s an app for everything – the problem is that we’re so busy chasing the newest shiny toy that we rarely stop to learn to use simple tools well. As a technical SEO, one of the tools I seem to never stop finding new uses for is the site: operator. I recently devoted a few slides to it in my BlueGlassX presentation, but I realized that those 5 minutes were just a tiny slice of all of the uses I’ve found over the years. People often complain that site:, by itself, is inaccurate (I’ll talk about that more at the end of the post), but the magic is in the combination of site: with other query operators. 1. site:example.com Ok, this one’s not really a combination, but let’s start with the basics. Each combo in this post will have a clickable example (see below). You’ll end up with two bits of information: (1) the actual list of pages in the index, and (2) the count of those pages (circled in purple below): 2. site:example.com/folder 3. site:sub.example.com 4. site:example.com inurl:www 21.

Freelance Writing Online: What Are You Worth? I didn't know what I would get paid to write this article. I didn't ask. It doesn't matter. It won't make a tangible dent in paying the rent on my apartment in Brooklyn, or, for that matter, rent on an apartment in any other city. It's not news that making a living by writing on the Internet is a tough business. Nicholas Jackson worked as an editor at TheAtlantic.com and saw the math first-hand. Assume an editor pays a writer $100. There is a general correlation between good, hard work and success, but it's not one-to-one. In that way, making money on the web has much in common with book publishing, just with more cat photos. The Internet democratized writing. But the destruction of the job market hurts not only the quantity, but the quality. Alana Newhouse is the editor-in-chief of Tablet and a frequent speaker on panels about the state of the media and longform journalism. "You're looking at a business that managed to flush tens of billions of dollars down the toilet. I'm lucky.
56 Unique Lorem Ipsum Generators With roots in classical Latin literature, lorem ipsum has been the print industry's standard dummy text since the 16th century, and it was popularized in the 1960s. It has become the de facto placeholder text in web design, too (as gathering content from clients can often be a frustrating process), and is used in place of meaningful content during the design phase. Some argue that "real data delivers really effective design," and by using dummy text, you create a domino effect in your design that will have consequences when real content is added. However you choose to approach content in your web work, the lowly lorem ipsum text has certainly inspired a myriad of similar versions. If there's a text generator you love and use, or if you've built one of your own, please share your links and recommendations with our readers in the comments below. 1.
