If you want to have your own writing/articles published on the site, like in the Opinion section, here’s what to do:

If Technologically Challenged

Just send me the article, copy/paste it here, or send me an email.

Not Technologically Challenged

Register on the site. Your default member status will be that of “Subscriber”.
Tell me here, or email me that you want to write articles. I will then upgrade your member status to “Contributor”.
After that you can log in and do your stuff directly in the backend/administration of the site.

Confused? Ask me.

Apart from written pieces interesting photos are also welcomed, keep meaning to put a “Pictures” section on the front page.

Patung, what do you mean by â€œtechnologically challengedâ€?

Tis the politically correct term for a dummy who can’t work technology and won’t read the f&%$ing manual.

Friend,

I say go for money shot, over screenshot.

Also, if you want to write articles, it’s always good to slag off Bules. Seems to stir things up and whip up the traffic here.

Slagging off muslims seems to do that as well….

So slagging off say, Yusuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, should realy do the trick.

Yes, Parvita, has hit the hammer on the head. That’s why I’ll be posting a piece on compulsory AIDS testing for Bules as they hit Cengkareng Airport.

Yes, the rumor that Neil Armstrong heard adzan on the moon and then became a muslim circulates with monotonous regularity
http://www.answering-islam.org/Hoaxes/neil.html
Sometimes it takes a back seat to the rumor put forward by many, including many muslims that the there was no landing on the moon and that it was merely an elaborate hoax perpetrated by Nasa and Hollywood to make Islam look bad.
