[WTH] Rewriter of semi-spun content

    I will provide 10 'junk' articles for you to rewrite.

    See attached example.

    Fee: $25.

    Your task:

    - Extract useful tips from the fodder articles by deleting waffle or 'padding'.
    - Edit these so they pass Copyscape.
    - STOP when you have 500+ words. DELETE any remainder.
    - Provide articles that are grammatically and syntactically correct, and in standard British English, and which make sense.
    - Do not rename the files.

    ========

    NOTE: The articles are in simple HTML page format. Don't use Microsoft Word for editing; it adds a lot of junk to the underlying code.

    Use Netscape Composer to edit. It's free, and does not mess with HTML very much, unlike a lot of other HTML editors.

    It's part of the the old web brower Netscape Communicator 4.8, which in turn was a development of Netscape Navigator, the first popular web browser.

    DOWNLOAD it here: http://browser.netscape.com/releases (scroll down. 4.8. is at the bottom of the 6.x releases, for some reason).

    IMPORTANT: When installing, _use the Custom Install option_, and untick all the boxes except the one for 'Communicator'.
    (Like a lot of software, it tries to become the default for your system.)

    Then start Netscape Communicator and go to the 'Communicator' > 'Composer' heading to start the editor.

    ========

    Number of articles: 10.

    Length of each article: 500+ words.

    ===========

    Subject: Business / financial / making money

    ===========

    Intended purpose:

    Website pages.

    ==========================


    Quality:

    - Correct spelling, grammar and syntax.
    - Bold any useful key points.
    - Succinct sentences.
    - Do not have too many instances of keywords in the text.
    - Should take a critical line, preferably. No need to be enthusiatic about debt consolidation, for example. Make it consumer-oriented.
    - IMPORTANT: Introduction and conclusion NOT needed. Easier for you.
    - Avoid space-filling waffle:

    e.g. This is _bad_:

    "It is of the utmost importance, cherished reader, that you should take the time to carefully consider what you are needing, and then thoroughly research KEYWORD, for there are a
    a multitude of KEYWORD suppliers out there, and not all are of similar quality or experience.".

    - If chosen, do part of one article and send it to me via PMB, so I can tell you if it's OK.


    ===========

    Format:

    HTML, with the file extension .html

    ==========

    Hi there! I'm interested in this, but, I only see the before/after, I don't see an article you want a sample of. Let me know.

    Errr ... the 'before' one is exactly how the article looked until I edited it down and rewrote it a bit. The 'after' is the result of my writing efforts.

    The 'before' is made up of paragraphs from other people's articles, with some synonyms inserted.

    I'm sorry! I read over your posting quickly and didn't see the 'if chosen' part. I thought you wanted writing samples first.

    I'll PM you.
