Where do I submit my site to? It's a blog, publishes news, articles, has a forum, directory. I don't want to waste 2 years when it's been rejected because I've submitted it to the wrong category. Help!
A site won't be rejected because it is suggested to the wrong category. An editor will move it to a better category. As this could mean several steps before it reaches its final destination it could enlarge the 'waiting' time. So find what you think is the best category based on the subject of your site (blog, news, forum and directory aren't subjects , travel or holiday homes are subjects).
Finding the right category can be difficult. I always try searching in google for: keyword site:dmoz.org In your case something like this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=blog+news+forum+articles+directory+site:dmoz.org
