lost travel photos

Re: http://www.linknot.com/
and http://www.linknot.com/travel-photos.htm

Hi. Sorry, it's going to be a long post. I want to try to explain why I am not too happy about the listing of my site in the directory. At the same time, I feel bad because I created the situation myself...

My web site (non commercial) really is two different sites. The first one (linknot.com) is just my personal web site, and I don't think of it as very important, although I had fun with it. However, from there, I link to what I really think of as a web site of its own: linknot.com/travel-photos.htm. This site has many galleries of photos from different parts of the world, including lots of photos of Icelandic landscapes and photos of beautiful skies at sunset and sunrise. I worked very hard on this site to make it as nice as I could, choosing my most beautiful photos, and presenting them as slide shows for the enjoyment of visitors.

When I submitted the site to DMOZ, I stupidly submitted to two different categories:
http://dmoz.org/Recreation/Travel/Image_Galleries/

and

http://dmoz.org/Society/People/Personal_Homepages/Anonymous/S/
(where an editor rapidly listed the site).

When making these two submissions, I didn't remember that sites can only be listed once. If I had thought of it at that time, I certainly would not have made the second submission. However, now that the site is listed in the second category, I am afraid that it will never be in the first one, which is where I think it should be.

Is there anything I can do to undo my mistake? I don't want two listings, but it would be nice if people looking for travel photos could find my site.

I appreciate any comment. Thanks!

Sites _may_ be listed several times, if the local editor feels like it - they must have a real lot of content though. Sicne the submission of your travel pictures has not been reviewed yet (it is still waiting in the given category with a large numbr of others) there is nothing to talk about yet.

Good! Thank you for the information, windharp.

Could someone please give me an update on the status of this submission? It has been a long time...
Thanks!

Nothing new here, your submission is still awaiting review with a large number of others.

I am surprised that nobody wants to edit this category. You would think that looking at sites displaying nice photos from different parts of the world would be a rather pleasant job...

Well, the thing is, um, different editors have different notions of what constitutes a nice job, which is why we're scattered all over the directory instead of focusing on History and Archaeology, Christianity, Classical Music and Literature -- you know, the kinds of sites _I_ (and, presumably, all other sensible people) like reviewing.

So if we have a backlog in, say, travel photos, what we need to do is find somebody who thinks it would be neat to review other people's travel photos all morning for, say, a couple of Saturdays a month or so....and get him to volunteer to edit that category.

Hmm. Where do we go from here?
