FAQs

Slowly but surely I am updating the editorial and style guidelines. This section on style is still in progress, but please take a look at it.

When you write a comment, start a forum topic or submit an article at culturekitchen, you are not just contributing your writing. You are also taking part in the publishing process.

In this book you will find the dos and donts of prettifying your work.

culturekitchen is a community blog aimed at cultural creatives who believe progressive activism starts in the kitchen, the bedroom, the home, the wallet. It is open for all who believe the decline of progressive and libertarian values have set us back as a democratic nation.

Anybody can join and participate at different levels in our community. Everybody is warned that the publishers and editors skew left of most liberals; yet actually encourage conservatives and right-wingers of all kind to debate us on the issues.

There are many ways to contribute to culturekitchen than just blogging. Here's a run down of some of what's available on the site :

1. Quotes
   When I don't have time to blog about a bit of news, I use the Quotes form to take good excerpts out of articles and have them rotating in the QUOTES block that appears towards the bottom of the left side column on every page. Some have images, some don't.

   It just occurred to me to use it to also excerpt good posts from other bloggers outside of our site. So use it, please, especially if you don't have time to blog about a good post you've read from blogs we don't have in our blogroll.

2. Image Galleries
   After the last fix our image galleries got all screwed up, but when they are working, they work marvelously.

   If you'd rather open a photo-essay gallery instead of a blog, just make your case and we will do that for you. We have here a wonderful source that gets massively hit through the search engines ready for the community.

3. Recipes
   Yes! After a test run, the recipe module is working again (that's a shout-out to Jeffrey). A girl doesn't just live of ideas. She needs a good, hearthy portion of Chocolate Mousse Pie to feed her soul too.

Have you ever wondered how you can help get the word out there about your contributions to our blog? Well, look no further. This list is meant to break down some of the features we have on the site that should help people spread the word about how y'all are contributing to any or all our culturekitchen blogs.

Unfortunately we do not have a team of moderators to handle anonymous or unverified commenters.

Why should you register with our site? The answer is here.

What is a blogging bookmarklet? It is a piece of code you put on the bookmarks or favorites toolbar of your browser. When you want to grab a quote fromm an article on the net, all you have to do is :

(1) highlight the text
(2) click on the bookmarklet

What the javacript in the code will do is pull-out the text highlighted text as a blockquote with a link back to the page; including the title of the article (if it is available on the page's source code).

So take this culturekitchen Blog It! bookmarklet and drop it in your Safari or Firefox browser.

If you have a bit of a problem dropping it in, you can manually create a bookmark in both browsers by dropping the code in the URL section of a bookmark.

ONLY EDITORS CAN MAKE CHANGES TO PROMOTED POSTS</strong><br /> First off, if your blog post gets promoted to the front page, unless you have front-page privileges, you cannot edit your post. If you do so, the updated version will be saved with your privileges and the post will disappear from the front-page. For that matter, make sure you send me or any of our editors the edited copy. We'll be glad to make the update. </p> <p><strong>2. ALL FRONT PAGE ARTICLES ARE NOW AUTOMATICALLY SHORTENED</strong><br /> I did this to fit more articles on the page. If you don't like where the system automatically shortens your entry you can always change it by putting the following bit of code (but without the spaces) under the paragraph or image you'd like the cut-off point to be: </p> <pre>< !--break-- ></pre><p>Remember, no spaces if you want the code to work.</p> <p><strong>3. YOU HAVE TO GO TO YOUR USER PAGE OR WORKSPACE TO START A POST</strong><br /> The side bars were starting to get unruly and for that matter I decided to move the work sections to ... ahem ... your <a href=/workspace/">workspace</a> and <a href="/user/">member page</a>.</p> <p><strong>4. FEEDS ARE NOW IN A SEPARATE PAGE</strong><br /> In my quest to clean up the sidebars, I set up a page with links to all the varieties of feeds to the front page available to you. But we have other feeds as well. </p> <br class="clear" /></div> <div class="picture"><a href="/user/liza" title="View user profile."><img src="http://culturekitchen.com/files/pictures/picture-1.jpg" alt="liza's picture" title="liza's picture" /></a></div> <span class="submitted">Submitted by <a href="/user/liza" title="View user profile.">liza</a> on 29 January 2006 - 7:40pm.</span><br /> <span class="taxonomy"><a href="/culturekitchen/design" rel="tag" title="">Design</a> | <a href="/culturekitchen/editorial_policy" rel="tag" title="">Editorial Policy</a> | <a href="/culturekitchen/faqs" rel="tag" title="" class="active">FAQs</a></span> <div class="links">» <a href="/liza/blog/read_this_10_things_you_need_to_know_about_our_site" title="Read the rest of this posting." class="read-more">read more</a> | <a href="/liza/blog" title="Read liza's latest blog entries.">liza's blog</a> | <a href="/liza/blog/read_this_10_things_you_need_to_know_about_our_site#comment" title="Jump to the first comment of this posting.">4 comments</a> | <a href="/forward/6338" title="Forward this page to a friend" class="forward-page">email this blog</a> | 854 reads</div> </div> <div class="node"> <h2 class="title"><a href="/liza/book/i_edited_my_promoted_blogpost_and_now_its_gone">I edited my promoted blogpost and now it's gone!</a></h2> <div class="content"><p>Members cannot edit your blogpost after it has been promoted to the front page.
