Want to receive content?
Culture Blast allows you several options for receiving content:

1. Read it on our website for free! No account is required, and visitors have access to view all content.
   
2. Subscribe to email updates. Content will be delivered directly to your inbox! Learn more.
3. Subscribe to a RSS feed. All new content is automatically published in an RSS feed, which allows you to subscribe to updates through a newsfeed reader. Learn more.

We are constantly working on adding more ways for you to receive content updates. If there is a method you prefer that isn't available yet, please let us know!

Want to submit content?
How you used to submit content to Artifice:

1. Send an email to Artifice
2. The editor reviews it and formats it for text email
3. Artifice is sent out every Thursday.

Although this method worked well for several years, it had several restrictions, such as timing of releases and the lack of attachments and images being sent.

How you can submit content now
Content can now be submitted to Culture Blast directly. A free user account is required to submit content, and submitting content will always be free (although premium features will be available in the future for people who need more than basic services). Learn more.

Benefits of the new submission method:

Images and Attachments
Because Artifice was only sent in text format, images and attachments were not included.
Now, Culture Blast allows for multiple options for embedding images in your submissions and attaching files, such as submission forms, directly to your listing! Find out more about images and attachments. 

Schedule releases
You are no longer restricted to sending releases on Thursdays only! Whether you have something last-minute that needs to be distributed today, or you have something you want to coordinate for a future release, Culture Blast can accommodate your needs! Find out more here

"Pre-approved" accounts
While most content will still be reviewed prior to being approved for posting on Culture Blast, we are extending "Pre-approved" accounts to users who have a solid track record of submitting relevant content. Find out more here

We have built Culture Blast so that it's easy and intuitive to use, and provided documentation on everything we could think of to help you get your content out there. If you have any feedback, or need more help, just let us know.

If you don't have the staff resources to submit content other than by email right now, please ask us about premium services. We aren't quite ready to offer premium services to the wider community, but are open to making that available for those in a pinch. Individuals and organizations who have been submitting content to Artifice on a regular or semi-regular basis have been extended a "freebie" period where they can still send us emails to be added to Culture Blast. This freebie period ends November 19, 2009.
