CodeProject has a number of different article types. To make your live easier and to help you decide what type of article to submit, all available types are listed and described below.
An article is typically either a tutorial that allows someone to learn about a technique or technology, or an explanation and documentation for code that you are uploading. Articles outline the problem you're trying to solve, the techniques you're using, and a simple explanation of how to use your code or techniques. Interesting gotcha's or trivia are always welcome.
As developers we blog, so we want to ensure as we have as many readers as possible reading your blog. Nothing hurts us more than seeing great technical content lost in the wilderness, so by submitting your blog's RSS feed to us we'll regularly aggregate your technical blogs and publish them on our site. Get feedback, ratings, the adoration of millions and a ton of rep.
A tip has the same layout as a regular article but is meant primarily to provide a quick coding solution or tip. Tips and Tricks are not as exhaustive or extensive, nor do they require as much detail as an article to explain a problem and its solution. Articles may be several pages long, but a tip might be only a couple of paragraphs. Tips simply state a problem and a solution.
A Reference article is a short (typically 1 page) article used to lookup common information such as tables (eg. ASCII tables, HTTP codes etc) or function or class explanations. Typically there will be few if any images, and no downloadable code (though both are possible if the author wishes)
