Terms of Use

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.

culturekitchen is not a pornography site. We publish articles that mostly deal with the politics, economics and technologies of sex, gender and reproductive rights. Yes, we create risque titles like I am a whore, Butt-Fucking at Fenway and Mothers who like to fuck : Yep, I'm one of them. If you read the posts though, they are not pornography. On the contrary, the only full-frontal picture involving sex that appears in our archives was the wildly publicized photo of a Norwegian couple doing it for the amazonian forests. In the server move, we lost the image, btw, although you can find the original here. The closest thing to pornography is the picture of that godawful sculpture about an alleged Britney Spears giving birth; and that picture was splattered all across the news.

Which is why what I am going to describe is just absolutely insane.

COMING SOON
We are trying to make them as human readable as possible.

I was asked why do people have to register to participate in the site. At culturekitchen, you have always had to register in order to leave comments. With the old blogging software though, there was no commitment established between anything other than a name, a sometimes fake email and my light moderating of comments.

In communities, even anonymous members have an identity that sets them apart from other anonymous users. We do not demand full disclosure of your personal information, but we need at least a basic level of commitment for your participation in the site and that involves registering.

At culturekitchen, you may stay anonymous to the community but, as part of our editorial policy, to become a contributor, you have to publish pseudonymously. In other words, the publisher and editors need to know, under full confidentiality, who you are.

Still, we care deeply about your privacy and freedom of speech.

Use the comments section to add any questions you think we should FAQ you.
