![]() As you may have noticed, Destructoid went and had unprotected sex with Reddit and we appear to now be fostering a child. The important thing is NOT TO PANIC. We're young, inexperienced and might drop it, kill it and all go to prison. BUT DON'T PANIC. Just follow my advice and we might just survive long enough to see it through puberty. What is this “Reddit” of which you speak? Reddit is a social news site. People submit news and other people comment on it, vote it up or vote it down. It has a very different feel to Digg because you can put anything on there. Forum threads, pictures, basically, anything. There are also sub-reddits. On Reddit, everything is split up into roughly a bazillion sub-reddits (eg; gaming, coffee, jailbait). These are all user run and range in size from the huge, to the tiny. Every user subscribes to whichever ones they want, allowing you to tailor your experience perfectly. Great! Let's put all our shit on reddit gaming! No. Don't make me bitch slap you. Reddit gaming is awesome and doesn't need your shitty cblogs clogging up the place. We may have a partnership going between the two of us now, but that doesn't mean you get special treatment. Lurk Moar as the internet saying goes. I you want to have your stuff read by more people, firstly you should start using Reddit. Learn what people like, what they don't like and the best practices. If all you do is post your own stuff on there, I'll ban you in the crotch. I has the technology. Reddit gaming is a huge community with nearly 40,000 subscribers and we don't want them to get pissed off with us (more than they already have). They are a cynical bunch. Fine, I'll not be a douche Good. I'll let you submit stuff. Once you've worked out the inner workings of the Reddits (and are done fapping yourself dry over the NSFW sub-Reddit) it's time to submit. As I say, only submit things that you think the wider audience will like. No in-jokes or bullshit. Also, do feel free to submit stuff from other websites, they do exist (apparently). ![]() Head over to the submit page (above). Fill in the URL of whatever you're submitting and then add the title. Your title should basically describe what the link is going to. Once done, hit “submit” and ZOMG it's done. Don't get neurotic about the up and down votes. Most stuff gets downvoted at first. Also, DON'T spam you're Reddit submission link to people to try to get extra up-votes. They have a very cunning spam detection thing which may smack you in the ass. And we don't (all) want that to happen. Can I have a sexy up/down vote thing on my cblog? Yup. There are a load of different buttons you can use. Pick the one you want and put the code into the “embed” bit in your cblog. E.g.: And that's it! Well, that's not everything, but you can pick up the rest easily enough. Any problems just get in touch, I'll be happy to help. Also, cocks.

Maybe I´ll just stick to the NSFW one.
