Back in July, we submitted a site to DMOZ. We walked through the steps of selecting a category, writing a title and description that might be accepted and submitting.
From looking at the last update date at the bottom of the Home – Home Improvement – Furniture category, our suggested site was accepted within a month of submission:
Furniture Care Tips – Short articles on care and maintenance for various types of furniture.
The title was accepted as submitted, and the description was edited. While I may feel that my suggested description was the better of the two, the listed description offers a brief overview about the sites content.
