Hey guys, One of my part-time jobs that I have been doing on the side has been writing about the NBA for a site called Rant Sports. I am required to write at least 40 articles a month about the league and so far it has been going great. This morning I posted an article about Jamal Crawford, and after I posted the link to the article on my Facebook and Twitter accounts, I was shocked to discover that Crawford himself "Favorited" the article on Twitter, which was pretty unreal! If you guys are interested in checking out my thoughts on the league, here's a link to my author page: www.rantsports.com/nba/author/danschultz/Feel free to also follow my author page on Facebook (Dan Schultz - Rant Sports) and my Twitter account (@dschultz89). Thanks!

haven't read it all yet and will have to see what it looks like when I switch back to safari, but running windows on mac the article cuts words off at the end. For example, instead of having the word "player" it has "pla" and then the next line starts with "yer." Does it throughout

Yeah I have a PC and it looks fine to me but that's interesting I'll ask my other friends who have Macs and see if they are having the same problems. Thanks.

switched to safari and it cut the words, but had a "-" to let you know the word continued on the next line. I dragged the window bigger and it fixes some, but keeps doing it with others

Looks much better than it did last week though.

Yeahhhhhh that's not a great look. I'm getting that too. I'll mention something to the support team. It would look much better if it didn't have the dashes to cut the words in pieces.

Yeah it averages out to about 2 articles a day or so, but they put a limit of 750 words on your articles and a minimum length of 250 words. So you can usually write one pretty quick if you know what you want to do. It's just the formatting and picture editing that kind of takes a while. I can usually get an article done and up on the site in 30-40 minutes give or take.

Ps if you get him to take an SLOR team that's worth about 100,000 RPS haha

Good shit Dan! I like your opinions. Especially like the Lebron article. I agree, he's put a lot of pressure on himself. But I think the NBA is so much better with him doing that. I'm interested to see what happens. He ran away from the challenge the first time. Hope he doesn't now.
