Categories

The following list is to aide you in choosing the appropriate category for your website listing. We reserve the right to choose a different category if we feel it better belongs there.

1. Blogs: Websites consisting of primarily a blog (weblog, journal). These sites usually utilize WordPress or Movable Type or are hosted on free blog sites such as Blogger, WordPress.com, Tumblr and LiveJournal. Individual, group, and photo blogs are welcome.
2. Cliques: Cliques include clubs or support sites that allow people to join because of a common interest.
3. Collectives: These sites are made to bring together a listing of the owner’s various websites. A collective has the owner’s website projects all in one place. Fanlisting collectives fit in this category.
4. Directories: Directories/Listings similar to this one.
5. Domains: A website URL that takes the form of .com, .org, .net, .me, .co.uk, .nu and the like. Domain redirects and subdomains do not fit into this category. Domains are paid for and owned independently. Domains that consist primarily of a blog, personal info, collective, portfolio, etc should go into the category it best fits. A domain that includes several of those categories can go here.
6. Fanlistings: Fanlistings are dedicated to some type of tv show, charactor, actor, actress, movie, singer and the like. Their intended purpose is to bring together and list all of the fans of a particular interest. Fanlistings do not need to be “approved” by TheFanlistings.org.
7. Fansites: These sites are dedicated to some type of TV show, charactor, actor, actress, movie, singer and the like. They contain diverse information, images, and interactive features that pertain to the media type theme of the site. Most are unofficial and in no way affiliated with the website’s topic.
8. Forums: Forums and message boards. Includes YaBB, phpBB, and InvisionFree. Forums that are solely role-playing games go in RPGs.
9. Graphics: A website comprised generally of graphics and/or layouts, which are free or that can be ordered and designed by the owner or staff of that site.
10. Microblogs: NEW category! Microblogging websites like Twitter and Plurk may now be listed!
11. Miscellaneous: This category includes sites that do not appropriately fit into any of the other categories. Some of these sites include anime, gaming, plugboards, music, adoptions, awards, reviews, topsites, webzines, tutorials, and resources to name a few.
12. Personal: Websites where the owner shares personal information, photographs, or other things of a personal nature. These sites are “personalized” to be about the owner. Personal sites may include a blog (but it’s perhaps not the primary focus).
13. Portfolios: Sites that showcase the owner’s talents in websites, graphics, art, photography, etc. Profile websites like Dribbble and DeviantArt would fit here.
14. RPGs: Websites for role-playing games.
15. Shops: NEW category! Websites hosted indepently or on Etsy where the owner’s crafts and creations are available for sale. “Shops” that sell only websites or graphics go in the Graphics category.
16. Writing: Sites that revolve mainly around some sort of writing. Poetry, short stories, novels, etc.
