Some changes at culturekitchen

I had to shut off a few features on the site, especially after we got slammed with traffic during the Brangelina saga. Now that things have calmed down and I have figured out what was crashing the server, I can turn features on and do some promotions.

So that means that all the people who joined culturekitchen as far back as April and had not been granted member privileges, now you've got them.

I have promoted some members to contributor status. And I have set in place a community promotion system or "mojometer" that allows all members to vote to move posts by non-editors and/or contributors to the front page. Yes, it's not just me who can move stuff to the front. In one way or other the whole community can do this now.

I will be writing about it later today, just giving you the heads up.

If you have not been granted anything other than unmoderated commenting rights, then please, holler here in the comments. And also let me know of any technical difficulties you might be having. I know Lorraine was having trouble posting this morning but I can't find what was happening.

Anyhow, hollaback y'all!

Words to live by

So, for now, I guess I’d have to wear the “anything goes” badge.

I do find disquieting the social pressure to get on board with this program. Tim O’Reilly is a guy who really can affect one’s career online (and off, too). I do have to admit that I feel some pressure just to get on board here and that makes me feel very uneasy.

How about you?
