Some of them are in moderation mode so you may have to wait for while to get in the news. But it is worth waiting. I would recommend to submit your post or article to each and every site listed below. I made this list to share some good sites available which always try to give only the best contents to the readers. So I request you to do not spam these sites, or we will loose beautiful contents on the web.
