WHAT TYPE is intended to be mainly a social movement. The idea is to put
people communicating their questions and concerns by creating
questions/answers and then finding a creative way of showing them. On the
other hand it is our believe that if you think enough about a problem you
will find the answer to that problem, mostly because of common sense. The
only rule that you have to go by to participate in WHAT TYPE is that all the
questions should start with what type.

What you have to do to be involved in WHAT TYPE is:

a) Create a question/answer or take one already on the blog
b) Create a way of communicate it
c) Have it send to whatype[a]gmail.com with title, format, type used and your
personal information you want to be on the post
d) Wait to receive a mail from us to let you know that we’ve posted it
e) Show it to all the people you know
