Military Personnel Get Free Remote 'IT' Services Writing Articles On Computer Related Subjects
Writing Articles On Computer Related Subjects
27 Sep 07
Having titled this article I need to issue a Mia Copa so I might as well get it out right up front. The truth is, this editorial probably applies not only to the fields of website design and remote and outsourced ' IT ' services and computer sales and repair, but to most writers and technical subjects covered on the web.
My background in the educational, legal, intelligence and law enforcement communities qualifies me more than most "computer gurus" for research to bring my audience not only beneficial data but quality links allowing access to and use of the information and sources shared.
The First Issue: Restricted Embedded Links...
The problem arises in trying to get the results of that research, knowledge and experience into the hands of those searching for answers. Most hosts restrict submissions to one or two embedded links if they allow any at all. That is a real issue when the author is actually concerned about providing quality referenced content.
These articles on the super slab run the gamut from the frivolous to the technical. I suspect most computer and internet related articles are of the technical variety at least to some extent, and I understand there are those who game the system and abuse their privilege. So, restrict the number of links back to the author and his or her web sites, not to legitimate referenced sources. That will make more work for the hosts who read all these articles before they are published, but most of them get paid well for editing what you see and read on their sites.
The Second Issue: Article Lengths...
Each hosts has his or her minimum length requirements normally in the 600 word range. Such a minimum often causes one of necessity to be much too verbose instead of succinct as we have always been taught. Professors say keep cutting the article down. Don't use five words when one will suffice. On the article hosting sites, the rule seems to be don't use one word when you can write a paragraph.
For example, an article on the subject should explain what can be done to speed up Windows Vista (EXPENSIVE!) Computers, how to properly tune up Windows XP (EXPENSIVE!) Computers, and why Linux Ubuntu (FREE...DOWNLOADABLE) runs better, faster, and with less virus and crash problems on most computers than any Microsoft Windows operating system and then shut up. Note: "Ubuntu's biggest problem may be a shortage of compatible wireless drivers".
Why have a two year old babbling on forever just to meet some arbitrary word count? I don't care what moo moo makers say, One size does not fit all! So, if it is an article on the history of computers or computer techs and sciences there needs to be considerably more than 600 words especially with limited embedded reference links. On the other hand if it is a simple complete steps 1, 2, 3 to fix a specific issue it may need to be considerably less.
The Third Issue: Emphasis...
Writing on computer and internet based subjects does not easily lend itself to the old standard of who, what, when, where and why. No font setting!!!! When writing about these computer and internet related issues it is often almost obligatory to stress and emphasize. That can be done with much less verbiage with just a little tweaking of typesetting and a well placed link.
Many of these hosts are owned and operated by men. They should understand we (especially we men) need the salient points to stand out from the rest of the document. We want to know where the graphics card is located not necessarily how it functions. If we fail the first time (ok maybe the tenth), we will go back and read the directions.
Finally...
This article got a lot off my chest and over 700 words too so if it don't show up on your favorite server or host it will be for some other reason...probably just as subjective.
In the final analysis one needs to not only publish articles but a Blog and maybe even a Twitter as well to cover all the bases especially where there are these restrictions. That means the surfers need to search and read both article hosts and the blogosphere to find the data they seek especially if they want to make sure the author is not blowing smoke or if they need their data well referenced and linked. I would especially recommend such documentation in Computer Related Articles involving subjects like a remote and outsourced "IT" service, helpdesk, and repair facility.

Military Personnel Get Free Remote 'IT' Services
24 Sep 07
In the quiet of a mid-summer's night somewhere in the deserts of Arizona a huge military airlift command aircraft lifts off hardly noticed by the coyotes and rattle snakes. Although the rest of the world pay little or no attention, across North America the hearts of mothers, fathers and lovers break.
On board are a handful of America's finest young men...military personnel highly trained in their respective fields and protected by twelve heavily armed uniformed military policemen. Their hearts are also heavy. As they look around they cannot help but wonder who will not be coming back.
Each man is manacled to a briefcase. What is inside? What do these kids know? Where are they going? What are they doing? Who are they? Officially, they do not exist. That is what the heavy security is all about. Soon enough they will lose the visible security and be on their own.
Some things are noticeably absent. There are no cell phones, no hand helds, no notebooks (at least the electronic kind), no satellite positioning devices. The year is 1967. America is in internal turmoil, but as she has always done she exports her best and brightest to help another.
A half a world away they find it all but impossible to communicate with those they love. When there is a short wave station available, it is only able to maintain contact with the continental United States a few hours at a time and only a couple of nights a week. When one is lucky enough to be there and contact can be made he has five minutes to communicate over an open system that is difficult to hear after waiting what seemed an eternity for his turn while hoping the system would not go down before he heard a voice from the other side of the world. Maybe he got a couple of these calls a year.
Spring forward forty years and while America still has her own problems, once again she has tasked her youth to help another. But something has changed.
There are new business models with new words such as outsourced. Two score years ago the closest thing to outsourcing was hiring your neighbors to do the work on your farm. In 2007 it seems everything is either outsourced or temporary.
Technology has grown so fast that in 2007 everyone has a personal computer, laptop, blackberry, satellite positioning device, and website. They can't repair the computer or build and maintain the website. Hell, they can barely operate the contraptions (not exactly like the new fangled television or the rotary dial telephone on a party line in 1967), and whether in the shop or in home computer maintenance and repair is expensive.
Enter a group of Viet Nam Veterans who have kept up with the latest technology. Knowing what it was like to be separated from those one loves without the ability to communicate, they have decided to do what they can to keep military personnel and their families talking.
Remote Helpdesk 1 (http://www.remotehelpdesk1.com) is providing free remote computer repair over the internet to enlisted and junior officers on active military duty and their families back home with priority to those serving in harms way.
Jerry Leonard of Remote Help Desk 1 said they got the idea
while performing gratis services for the local police department. He said,
"America's young men and women have always acquitted themselves well in the
defense of our country and our way of life. I was there and I know what it
is like. This is the least we can do for them. If it helps someone's
spouse, children, or parents sleep a little better after hearing from their
loved one tonight, it will be worth it. We may be located in Tennessee but
our reach is world wide."
