Q. I wanted to add articles to About.com but i can't find any option on how to become an author. Asked by Che . - Fri Jul 20 10:27:11 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. In order to add content to About.com, you need to become a guide. It's a paid position, available to online freelancers, but there is an application process and a training period. About says: "All About.com Guides are freelancers who work online and set their own schedules, giving them the flexibility to log on from anywhere in the world whenever they have the time. With no timesheets to fill out and no timecards to punch, working for About.com gives you the flexibility to write when you want, even if you have a full-time day job."

Q. I am citing this website, but I can't find author and date of it: Asked by i0love9that8 - Sat Apr 18 12:20:35 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think the author is Austin Cline. Scroll down and in the centre of the page it shows his mugshot with links to his blog and other info about him. I see no date given. You can just state the Author and say: "I was unable to find the date of publishing". I suggest however that you attempt to contact Austin Cline and confirm that he is the author and request from him the date of publication. Note that a great deal of publications will only give a month and year. - a link to the method of contacting Austin Cline, having followed the appropriate links from the link given in the question.
