From time to time these and other unnamed contributors may also contribute events to the Bored Now and friendly spam sections of this website. Generally sources for content on these pages are not cited where the content came from a personal correspondence or conversion - though articles and websites are generally cited. If you wish to have your comments cited, I'm happy to do so. The reason I don't cite by default for links, etc on these pages is often people wish to retain their privacy.

The Off Ya Butt and in(s)ane mutterings sections of the website now contain blogs. If you would like to be able to directly contribute content to these areas, please contact grudknows.com and provide an email address so a Blogger team member invitation can be sent out. Get more information on the in(s)ane mutterings blog and the Off Ya Butt blog.
All content submissions will be considered. Of course, this does not mean they'll definitely be added to the site... just considered. It's most likely your submissions *will* be accepted and promptly put up on the site... but I like to reserve the right to say no, if I deem it necessary. My idea of appropriate is reasonably broad and at the current point in time I believe, really only excludes hate speech and pornography. By hate speech I mean something that degrades a person or group of people without any actual logic or reasoning. If your piece is anti-something and can be justified then it's probably not hate speech and probably will be published if you submit it. Pornography is also out - it doesn't really fit in the context of my site and there's plenty already on the 'Net if you want to find it. There's one of those imaginery lines in my head that tells me the difference between porn and art... I'm sure some people may find some of the things I see as art objectionable, then again, maybe not.

If you provide an email address, you'll be advised if your content will be published or not and if it is, of the URL/web address where you can view it online.
If you have stuff that you think would be of interest to others, feel free to submit it for consideration. I am looking for stories/articles from people overseas to do a 'There's a whole world out there' section - could be on a moment, adapting to a new culture, travel story... whatever. I also have someone willing to do a regular photo segment based on a theme. If you've got a once-off article or an ongoing column, feel free to submit it.
