I post articles when I've done something at work that required quite a bit of research, or that illustrates a technique in more of a real-world scenario. Your basic "hello world" programs simply aren't conducive (IMHO) to making a point or demonstrating WHERE you might use such a technique in your everyday coding requirements. As far as "how many times it's been done before", I suggest that you don't worry about it. MFC has been around since 1990 or so, and people here are STILL writing articles about it 20 years later.
I say put it out there, and see what shakes out.

Puhleeze, John, Wikipedia says MFC was introduced in 1992, so it's only 18 years old, not 20!

I'm not sure whether this blog[^] should be accepted, or is it a cheap way of advertising?

So I visted the first page I do everyday, and who do I see but Bob loitering the Lounge, however this presents a minor annoyance!

There appears to be a giant alien in the Lounge. This is not a bug report, but a suggestion that whoever came up with that idea (and Clippy, and yellow text for million+) be given a raise.

It would be nice if the date/time that a question or answer was posted was displayed along with the other info that's already there. I have no idea how old my stuff is by just looking at the list of questions that I've answered.

Good point. I'll add it to the TODO.

The following License preamble is an incorrect description of the license terms
# Source Code and Executable Files can be used in commercial applications;
# Source Code and Executable Files can be redistributed; and
# Source Code can be modified to create derivative works.
it should read "may" not "can". The license is giving permission (may) to do the things that are possible (can).
Given that this is a legal document, it is important that correct language is used.

Haha, that same problem exists in the MASM32 documentation:
The MASM32 project is legal mainstream software and cannot be used to create any form of illegal software whatsoever.
I doubt, however, that the difference between "can" and "may" would be taken into account in court.

Our lawyers reviewed this license ad nauseam and seemed happy with the wording. I simply don't have the stomach to send it back to them for another review

Or maybe my machine having a bad day.
I click on a Question in Quick Answers and the 'Print Share Booknark etc' is sitting atop the 'Ask a Question Latest Unanswered' links.
It maybe because I am on a netbook and the screen isn't sufficient.
Or maybe not.

What browser and how wide (roughly) do you have your browser window expanded to?

IE8 (Yeah, I know), and it is only a little screen, but it is on full size view.
I have tried again at work, (20" Wide-Screen) and it is fine.
So, Not a bug, just my personal inadequacy
Sorry to waste your time.

I don't think so.

It isn't the same as what I've setup in the "Settings" page. I see two horizontal lines now (even on this message), but see only one on the settings preview.

Are you adding an HR to your sig? If so, you don't need to since the forums will add one by default. In my sig, I have an HR but that's because I break my sig into two sections.
