1. Peeking under the hood (just a little)

The best way to contribute to the Salon blogs community page is to set up a special category for submission.
To do that you have to first enable (turn on) categories for your blog. The place where you do that is your preferences page.
You get there by clicking (or otherwise following) the Prefs link in the main menu of your Radio desktop weblog home page.
In most designs it’s across the top of the page or nearly so, and Prefs is the second-to-last options (before Help).
