Re: Jan's Writing Basics #2: Beware of Adjectives and Adverb

Re: Be a Better Writer--WRITING IN DIFFERENT TENSES
Thank you for this 'pot of gold' need-to-know information. Tenses are my Achilles Heel. I will refer to this often.

Re: St Louis, MO ??
Hi. Took a bit to find your response. Thanks for replying. Because of vision limitations I cannot drive out that far. I'm by JB bridge and driving to Olive/270 area is my limit.

Re: Highest Rankings for LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
Hello.
Curious to learn how Highest Rankings are determined. Is this based on number of times an article is read? If not, by what criteria is used?
Thanks!
