Just drop a quick and short email to devcentralteam@f5.com and say you wanna be a DevCentral author and publish articles. The reason there's no button is because by default we don't allow everyone to create articles. We need to grant you the permission first. Cheers

Is there value in drawing distinctions between this older one and your newer content?
