About Drivl

What is Drivl?

Drivl is everything you wanted to say about the goings on in the world (pop culture, politics, movies, etc) but couldn't because you either can't type or are mildly retarded. We're mildly retarded, too, but we can type 80 wpm.

Who runs Drivl?

Drivl is run by two rollerskating monkeys, a Fraggle, several C.H.U.Ds, and six editors. Only the editors write for Drivl, though; the rest just sort of throw shit and file papers.

How do I sign up?

Good choice--your life will be much happier with healthy doses of Drivl. Head over to our Registration Page, create an account, read two articles, and call us in the morning. Do not operate heavy machinery while reading Drivl..

How do I change my avatar?

Once logged in to your account, click the "Edit my information" link at the bottom of the page to be taken to account edit page. At the bottom of that page is a form which will allows you to change your avatar.

How do I find the status of my submitted articles?

On your account, click the "Check your Posts Queue" link at the top of the page to be taken to your posts queue. This page shows the status of all your posts in the system.

What's this "Page 2" business?

Why you gotta be all up in our business? Well, technically it's your business, since Page 2 is where we publish the user-submitted articles deemed worthy enough to appear on the site. Still, back up off. Geez.

Can I submit articles?

Yes, all you need is a user account, the ability to form thoughts into somewhat logical sentences, and some good ol' fashioned snark.

How do I submit articles?

Just click the numerous submit a story links on the site, write up your story, and submit it.

How do the star ratings work?

Just like you'd expect really. More stars good. Less stars bad. The "How do star ratings work" question, for example, would get 1 star because it's a stupid question.

Is Drivl a blog?

Not really. It's more like a continuously updated set of informally written articles. We're bringing articles back! They'll be the new blog! Then, when articles are hot again we'll start calling Drivl a blog because we hate conforming. And because we're mildly retarded.

How do you decide which stories you publish?

We judge the shit out of each story that's submitted (and by "judge the shit out of" we mean "casually read"). If we like it, we'll put it on Page 2. If we crap ourselves with delight, we'll put on the front page.

What are Technorati Tags?

Technorati is a blog relevancy website, which tracks the popularity and interlinking of blogs around the internet. The tags serve as a way for us to be listed and indexed better in Technorati. So use 'em!
