Granted you Author rights now. You should see "Article Author" panel under the login box once you're logged in on the Portal. Its a lot like making a forum post, you can use tags with [square-brackets] and such.
Pretty much anyone
can have access to the Author tools. The "Access Request panel" will let you wave a little flag at me to say that you want them turned on. This is just to stop random, anonymous people from wandering by and posting articles

Might want to do a spell check on your article bjerring
Wouldn't have cared normally, but the article is on our front page after all.
Anyway nice to see some new articles on the page.

We've never been all that hard on spelling/grammar on the front page TBH. Most of the community to not have English as a first language, so a few little mistakes here and there are fine so long as the whole thing reads fairly well.

oh yea... sorry about the spelling, i had just completed an article for
computerworld.dk, a danish IT magazine. The frontpage article is a heavily shortened edition of that article, and by the time i was finished i was wery tired.
but thanks for the heads up

Erm.. interesting article... but

Not quite sure what it has to do with the Community. Seems an odd article to put on the portal. More of a forum topic to me.

without the computer.... this comunity wouldt exist m8
and @ amiga hehe... well sorry m8 obviously it would be fitting to get it in there somewhere, without the full picture it would seem odd to mention the amiga in random

History of the Amiga... man that would be a long article, and kinda like classical Greek tragedy unfortunately.
