Your article has not been published yet. It is in the moderation queue.

Have some patience. Either it will be approved, at which point it will be available for others to read, or it will be rejected if it needs further work.

As Richard Deeming already said, that is because the article has not yet been published.

My article: C++: Windows Toast Notification

The last 2 images do not show up in the published article but they showed up in the preview. The problem could be the width is not set in style attribute: I did set them but the width is removed after published, leaving the height only.

Please kindly help. Thanks!

What is good article criteria?

I was curious with good article criteria for website to get rank in Google.

It needs to be well written, detailed, informative, clear and useful. But that will not necessarily help its Google ranking. So if that is all you are interested in then save your energy.

Is there a better way to do this?

150% agree

Some of the best articles I have read here, didn't appear in google first page...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Sometimes a project I'm planning requires background before it can be understood and/or implemented.

Rather than try to firehose people with too much information in one article where scope and length gets out of control I will post a backgrounder article(s) in anticipation of the article I intend to write that's built on it. It's no so much a part in a series either, because the background piece is standalone. I did this awhile ago with a series of task scheduling and synchronization articles that led up to an article on .NET "synchronization contexts", and I've done it with some parsing and lexing articles in the past.

As an example, last night I published one on unboxing the Arduino Mega 2560+WiFi R3 and getting it set up without nuking it. I didn't want to make it part of my pump monitor article because I feel like people that want to search for setting up this beast should be able to find something about just that, and I don't want to clutter the pump monitor project with getting the arduino ide installed and adding the wifi libraries to it. The article might not seem like much unless you're actually unboxing one of those things, but it's important for the pump monitor project.

What leads me to ask if this is a good approach is a lot of times the background articles will go unvoted on or even get downvoted (at least in the past, but then i had a downvote troll at one point) as if they weren't really appreciated. If I'm spending all this time on something that isn't appreciated it makes me wonder if there isn't a better approach to breaking apart projects that have a lot of prerequisites. Maybe it's because they don't foreshadow the upcoming article so people wonder why I'm posting them. I don't know. I am always after improving my ability to engage with readers here, so any ideas would be valued by me. Smile | :)

I agree with you with separating those two topics, but you can still link the one background article for the Arduino in your Pump Monitor article in the introduction section like:

I did this project using an Arduino Mega 2560+WiFi R3. Setting it up can be a bit tricky and end with you nuking it without noticing, if you want to know what I did to get it safely to work see [LINK to the other CP Article].
(or something like that)
...
continue your Pump Monitor article.
...

Two lines with a link and it gives continuity, the possiblitiy to get all of your experience of this project, but still fill the "people who only need this, can find it" that you are saying about the setup without nuking.

Everyone here has had a downvote-troll at one point or another. I know it is sad and you might think it is not liked or so, but a couple of nice comments or "thank you that helped me" are (or at least should be) much more powerful than 100 downvotes

Absolutely. I fully intend to link to the background articles. That's why I put them there, so the "main" articles will have things to link to. Smile | :)

Thanks!

They totally are.

Then screw those downvotes and whatsoever...

I can't follow many of your articles because the topic is beyond my knowledge, but I can still know when something is worth or well written, and yours usually are.
