Categories

There are numerous categories that different sites fall under. Please use this guide to confirm what category your site belongs to before submitting.

Awards:-
Sites at which there is a nomination and winning process.

Blends:-
Sites showcaing blends; any blends challenge sites should come under this as opposed to 'Awards'.

Blogs:-
Sites containing only a blog (weblog, online diary). Anything with more content will be deemed a 'Personal' or 'Domain' site (depending on the URL) and moved to the relevant category. Blogs must be hosted by domain owners or people hosted by domain owners (LiveJournals, Diaryland, Xanga, Blogdrive, etc. will only be listed in exceptional circumstances, usually by design.)

Cliques:-
Sites where groups of people with a similar interest in a particular topic/issue come together, join up, and promote their interest in that certain thing.

Collectives:-
Sites which include all websites run by one owner but websites are hosted on differing domains to that of the collective. For example, if I run three sites (A, B and C), and each is hosted by different people (1, 2 and 3 respectively), then the site I listed my other sites on would be deemed a 'Collective'.

Domains:-
Sites that end in a .com, .net, .org, .co.uk and the like are to be submitted here - hosted sites (such as http://blah.com/mememe or http://mememe.blah.com) will come under 'Personal' or 'Blogs' (depending on their content). .Cjb.net, .tk and other redirection URLs are not domains. No commercial sites are to be submitted.
