How to publish something in a respectable journal, magazine, or edited website
It made me
thrilled 
"I submitted my articles to Next Step Magazine after I called the phone number on the editorial info page. They were thrilled to hear from me!"
How I did it: I found a few magazines that I knew would welcome my expertise. Then I emailed or called their editors. I sent them a sample of my writing too. I haven't yet tried the bigs - they want a query. Pick small or medium or regional publications first - unless you have a following already.
Lessons & tips: Be persistent. Ask to start with one and if they like it - turn it into an ongoing section or column. Be willing to take little or no money in the beginning to get your foot in the door.
Resources: My English Literature Degree and days as sports editor and sportwriter at my many different colleges' newspapers.
