A couple of days ago i mention somewhere in MyLot website that i submitted two articles at AC website.
Today i receive two emails one for each article and both of them have been declined for publication in AC website. Why?
Because, do not include a title or byline in the body of the text. What does this means. I can not understand it. What is a byline?

byline is a word for your name or what you go by. More than likely you used your name at the end of the text or in some other way put who you go by in the text. They don't like this because they already have your name/screen name at the top and it doesn't professional to have it in the text as well.
Hope this helps!
P.S. I did the same thing when I submitted my first article. Just edit your article delete your name/screen name and re-submit

Sure it helps because i understand that the the rejection of the articles have not to do with the violation of the copyright rules, at first place.
And secondly, i have found out a small detail which makes you more professional.
The question now is how can i correct the articles? Is it enough for AC to remove my name from the text and then submit it or should i have to do anything more(i.e. to correct something between the steps 1 to 5 before submission)?

Bear with me it been a while since I've written with AC but there should be a link to edit and re-submit. You just have to edit out your name and that should be it. There is the small detail that they might still reject your article for another reason as well. They don't list multiple reasons unfortunately
