I just recently took over all the submitting and making freesites from my old partner. She had a pretty good system going, but I refined it a little further

Here's couple of things that has saved me some time and sanity.

For every site that I will submit, I have a html page with 2 columns. 1 has a link to the linklist submit page and the other has the URL to my site where the recip is located for that linklist.

Make all the submit page links target="submit". When you click on the submit page link, it will pop up in a new window. Align it so it takes up 90% of your screen, the other 10% should be your submit list (you can get rid of all the buttons and bars in that Explorer window).

It's hard to explain it perfectly, so I took a screen cap

You could make it a page with frames too, I just decided to do it this way because some linklists "breaks out" of frames so it kinda fucks up the whole thing.

Now it's just to copy your URL from the "submit list" to the URL and recip fields on the submit page. No need to flip back and forth between submit page and a text document with the URL on.

Another great thing is RoboForm. You insert your title and description in RF and it will paste it in to the correct places. No need to flip back and forth between a text doc for that either.

Now when you click on the next submit page in the list, it will open in the bottom Explorer window.

What I think takes up a lot of time is flipping back and forth between a text document with your description, title and url and the submit page. It's pretty easy that you make mistakes that way too, especially when you are on your 70th linklist and your brain is getting quite dull

I like this way. It's not very easy to make any mistakes (paste in the wrong url or only half the description for example), I can spend more time making sure they haven't changed any rules since last time I submitted. But most importantly, I don't lose my sanity every time I submit a site
