Your own newspaper article?

It would be great promotion for you and your company as well. Jeff from http://greenerview.com has done just that. You could too! Here is an example of what his article looks like. Maybe it will give you ideas. Wind blows seeds of discontent from maple tree - Q: My neighbor has a maple tree that showered my yard with seeds. I now have hundreds, or even thousands, of maple trees sprouting up everywhere, from the gutters to the lawn and flower beds. What can I do to stop them? A: Well, since it is your neighbor’s tree, I don’t think you can cut it down. This is a common problem with maples, elms, cottonwoods and other trees that have seeds that are easily carried by the wind......

I don't remember what kind of response I got since it wasn't a big article.. it was published in the local paper

For some reason, I did so good on that article I decided to submit it to the newspaper and that's what with they came up with.

What class was this for, was it a business class?

Also when you submitted it to the paper, did you do anything special or simply send it in?
