I contributed a few short passages there. But when I did that, as a computer-illiterate person, I had to guess what to do to put things on the web pages. There were also a few things I never manage to put on. Some codes there might be quite basic for people who knows computer coding, but got me sort of lost :-p I feel WikiCha should try to attract more people to contribute to it. But I don't know if there are a lot of people like me who have little clue about how to put things on the webpages.Gingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-38712659671557488032012-03-07T11:26:12.091-05:002012-03-07T11:26:12.091-05:00I really like the way you summarized the differenc...I really like the way you summarized the differences between all these sites! And thank you for the mention!<br /><br />A quick note, RateTea.net has officially become just RateTea, and the domain moved to RateTea.com. But the old links work just fine...we're keeping both domains indefinitely and the .net will just redirect to the .com.<br /><br />=)<br /><br />I've actually experimented with writing about tea on other websites too. There are some mentions of tea on my site Cazort.net, as well as some photos; that's just a general site of writings, without a blog-like format. I've also tried publishing on EzineArticles, Squidoo, and a bunch of other places. Squidoo is a very fun place to write about tea if you want to include interactive components in your page (like polls, quizzes, discussions) without doing any web programming.<br /><br />I also want to point to another site that I find interesting: <a href="http://www.wikicha.com" rel="nofollow">WikiCha</a>. And, of course, Wikipedia's pages on tea. I would encourage anyone who wants to contribute more objective material about tea (as opposed to opinion) to consider contributing to one and/or both of these sites. They have a slightly different role (Wikipedia's guidelines for sourcing and scholarship are considerably stricter, yet WikiCha goes into much more depth about tea).<br /><br />=) There are lots of great options out there!Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.com
