The submit feedback button wouldn't work on your article, "A Trip to Wrigley Field Reveals American Pride in Sports", so I will drop it here.
Hey, liked your article. I just hit on this topic in one of my last articles "Century of Sorrow and Still a Diehard Fan" Wrigley Field is amazing man, and the bleachers are a trip.
If you have any questions about my edit, just shoot em to me.

Frank,
Make sure the article is reviewed and polished several times (and follow B/R's method of writing--posted on the site) before you publish it. That way those who edit and read it will give it 4-5 stars, thus pushing it to the front page. When I see it up, I'll be sure to comment.
ND articles often find their ways to message boards, which means a lot of readers.
Looking forward to it.

Frank,
I'm glad things are rolling for you. The article idea sounds great, and the interview should make it very good.
I'm happy to help, but I'm not really sure what you are asking me to do. Let me know..

i'd say just keep writing your best stuff and taking a unique look at different topics rather than just game recaps or something of that nature...usually the stuff i feel the best about start to get a few hundred reads or so...i'd say there is no real formula other than just to try and gets lot of stuff out there...i think having a lot of articles under your belt also gets your stuff posted more frequently

thanks for the comment on my article...i think a possible big ten preview by you would be a good look...maybe with your spin on it....it says you're a notre dame fan so you'll probably have a pretty unbiased look at the conference and do a better job than say an ohio state or michigan fan at evaluating the conference

Hi Frank!
Welcome to B/R...I was going to answer your question but Tim really nailed it below. He's one of the best writers on the site, and extremely nice and accessible. He gave you sound advice. \\
My only suggestion is that if you write a really outstanding article, and you'll know by the comments, link it to SI.com/campusclicks. It's Sports Illustrated's website and if it has to do with college sports and it's good stuff, they'll publish you.
I was published there without knowing about it after someone emailed me, so that's how I found out.
They are always looking for good content. Another blogger here has been published several times after he took my suggestion.
BleacherReport has gotten huge, and it's because of the great editing and great support (like from Tim!) that it's on everyone's lips.
BleacherReport.com uses content from this site to publish on FOXSports.com and CBSSports (formerly Sportsline.com)....so here's my best advice...write like you know a million people will be reading it......it might just happen.
Good luck! :)

Since "all registered members of the community who wish to become an editor may do so by reading the Bleacher Report Editing Tutorial," just look at the bottom of the front page and there will be guidelines for you to follow. It just takes a few minutes.

Hey, Frank. There are several things you can do to draw attention to your articles, some of which may take time: 1.) Continue writing--the more articles you write, the more your "status" will grow, 2.) Make comments--a big part of B/R's "formula" is how many comments a writer makes (to ensure the writer is actually part of the community), and 3.) Pick favorite writers and attract "fans" to your page (I'll be your first one). In short, be as active on the site as possible.
You might also consider becoming an editor.
Lastly, usually if people give your article 4-5 stars, it will appear on the front page.
Let me know if you have other questions.
