In this page I answer some of the most commonly asked questions. Read through them if you got any queries about the site and its usage.<\/p>\n

[toc]<\/p>\n

How to submit a post?<\/h2>\n

Use the Submit menu item on the top menu.<\/p>\n

\"Submit<\/p>\n

Once you enter your post url, our system will fetch available images from the page – this will take a couple of seconds. Once the images are loaded, select the appropriate image from the loaded images, choose a category for the post and then click submit.<\/p>\n

Why do I get “Incorrect Key” error when I try to submit a post?<\/h2>\n

Refer to “How to submit a post?” question. Selecting an appropriate image is mandatory (this is also our step to prevent spam and automated submissions by bots). If you attempt to submit a post too soon, immediately after inputting the url and failing to select an image, you will get the “Incorrect Key” error.<\/p>\n

What happens to my post after I submit it?<\/h2>\n

As soon as you submit a post, it appears in the New stream<\/a> if your account has not been marked as spam earlier. If your account has been marked spam or if you have made any spam submissions earlier, your submission will await moderation from the site admin\/moderator. Once approved by the moderator or site admin, your post will appear in the New stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is the criteria for a post to get published?<\/h2>\n

Getting published totally depends on the number of votes – in other words, the community decides the posts that are published<\/strong>. When a post gets a minimum of 7 votes, it appears in the Published stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to edit my profile information?<\/h2>\n

Once you are logged in, put your mouse over your username on the top right of the menu (see image below) – and choose Settings.<\/p>\n

\"Edit<\/p>\n

You will now be directed to your profile editing page. Don’t forget to save once you’re done!<\/p>\n

How can I get my post to appear in the featured slider?<\/h2>\n

Featured posts are handpicked by me. I mostly pick them from the published posts, since published posts are voted up by the community – I honor the decision of the community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, just because a post is published doesn’t guarantee that it will be featured. Some of the factors I consider while picking featured posts are the following:<\/p>\n
