I've been censored!

I was so happy today to get my first ever paycheck for writing articles. It was a whopping $7.09 from eHow.com for the three articles I wrote last year. I was planning to celebrate by posting a link to my favorite, "How to Properly Eat a Fortune Cookie," on Facebook.

I pulled up my article and noticed a couple words I could change to make it just perfect, and saved it. Suddenly, eHow rejected my corrected article! Granted, the article is more humorous (in my humble opinion) than useful, but I put a lot of creative energy into it and it was fine for nearly a year! What's worse, eHow doesn't even let me read or edit my own rejected article anymore, and I had never saved myself a copy.

After a little Googling, I learned how to recover the file from my own web browser's cache, from the last time I looked at it. So I'm going to repost my deleted eHow article to my own blog. 'Cause it's mine. I wrote it. So there.

Update 1/13/2010: They activated my article again, so I guess I'm not censored after all! I think it was my letter of complaint that did it.
