FAQ’s

Q1. Do I have to republish the entire digest?

A1. Yes. If you’re not willing to publish a digest of links from your fellow sex bloggers once every two weeks, then this isn’t the thing for you. While it is optional for you to re-post the photo, I still encourage you to do so. All text, including the introductory paragraph and the contained links to e[lust], however does need to be published on your blog.

Q2. You mentioned that one could utilize the “read more” tag when republishing the digest. How does that work?

A2. When readers are at your blog and scrolling through pages, they will only see the portion of the post that is before the “read more” tag. The rest of the post can be seen when they view the individual post. The links and the full digest are still on your blog and still visible in your RSS feed but it lends a cleaner look to navigation. The “read more” link, however, should *not* merely point the reader back to this blog. See the thumbnails below for visual tips and visit this link to accomplish the “read more” tag if you use Blogger.

Q3. What kind of posts does e[lust] accept for submission? (or in other words “I don’t write erotica, e[lust] must not be for me”)

A3. e[lust] is not just about erotica! There are so many awesome posts in the sex blogger realm that would be very welcome in e[lust]. Opinion pieces, how-to articles, interviews and discussions of sex in the news, thought-provoking journal entries, and more. Our brain is our biggest asset and our biggest sex organ. That is what e[lust] is for. If you ever question if your post/blog is right for e[lust], just ask me!

Q4. I’m having trouble posting e[lust] – can you help?

A4. I can email you an .rtf file of the raw html code – just let me know if you’re a Blogger or Wordpress poster.

Q5. What constitutes a “commercial blog” in regards to being ineligible for e[lust]?

A5. Unfortunately there is no exact black & white for this matter but there are some general rules. If the blog in question is on the same web address or a direct part of your online retail site, then I would consider it a commercial blog. If the blog is affiliated with and written by employees of a retail site, but resides on a different web address and does not directly correlate to the retail site, then I would consider allowing your blog post into e[lust] on a case by case basis. If your blog is a multi-author site with non-employees writing posts and is off-site from the retail store then I would consider it for publication in e[lust] provided the post in question is not filled with links to products. If you are a blogger who is also promoting your own adult services and the post contains links to buy your services/items, then it will most likely not be considered for publication. In the end your inclusion in e[lust] is at the discretion of the editor and in some cases could be put to vote to the judging committee who reviews all submissions for the Top Three. If you have any questions just email me.

Q6. Do you have a banner for others to use for linking? What’s the best way to contact you?

A6. Banners below! There are two email addresses. “Submissions” is the place to send me an email if you think the submission form didn’t work, or if you’ll be out of town during the coming submission period. “Questions” is the place for discussing volunteering to help with e[lust], wondering if your blog/post meets the guidelines, or discussing sponsorship of this blog.
