Click on the Submit Works link and you will find the appropriate link to create a blog

Groups can be formed by any full member via the Submit Works link .. they serve a couple of different purposes ..

Members are able to form either private groups (whereby they are the only member of that group - this is useful if you wish to hide your works at any stage)

or members are able to form public groups where other members are able to join .. these are handy if you wish to discuss or post your works in groups of like-minded poets or artists ..

there are several different options to choose when creating a group and handling subscription requests from other members ..

open - subscription requests are accepted immediately.

moderated - subscription requests must be approved.

invite only - subscriptions must be created by an administrator.

closed - subscriptions are fully administered by an administrator.

NB. When you select closed, users will not be able to subscribe or unsubscribe .. only create a 'closed group' if you wish to be the only member of that group ie. for the purpose of being able to hide your works ..

Once your group is created it will be added to the 'Groups Directory' which can be accessed via the Groups link in the primary menu ..

Administrators of groups generally need to maintain and manage the group, so to have an active group on Freaklings it is advisable not to create a group of interest unless it is something you really want to do

If you have published or self published a book and you are obviously the author .. you may promote it on Freaklings by writing a synopsis and review .. the book review submission allows a link to purchase your book from your site (eg. lulu or amazon) and it allows other information such as isbn if available, book cover photo, copyright information, author information etc. It is a very useful tool to use if you would like to promote your book to other members ..

However, you must have a paid subscription to be able to use this service.

Click on the Submit Works link in the right hand menu .. this will bring you to a list of categories that your member level allows you to submit to .. click on the category that you wish to submit a piece of work to.. eg. if you want to submit a poem, click on the 'Poetry' link .. then you are ready to submit your piece .. please be sure to place your work under the relevant sub-category or it may not be listed on the front page, which means less exposure to members.

You need to be a subscribed (paid) member to be able to submit your artwork or photos

Chances are your work has been flagged by another member as being offensive .. this will temporarily hide your work until a site team member can review the complaint, which is usually done within 24 hours. Administration will not tolerate members who flag things unnecessarily and it will be seen as a form of 'flaming' or harrassment, therefore please only use this feature if it is absolutely justified.
