We are still collecting xkcd explanations from back-catalog comics. Keep them coming!
Help Us Help You Help Us
by Jeff
In the attempt to become the one stop shop for all explanations for any and all xkcd posts, there is a bit of a hole in our swing. We have every comic every day, but we don't have any explanations of comics before comic 610, with the exception of randomly explained comic 605. We started the site back in August of 2009, and back filled some comics, but not too many and certainly not enough.
So, this is where I get to my request. A lot of you know a lot of things about xkcd, so if you want to get your name, site, email, whatever on the site or just show off your xkcd explaining skills to your friends, this is your chance.
Take any comic before 610 (except 605) and explain it. Submit the explanation to me at submitATexplainxkcd.com. Send me what a line or two about yourself for the blog and and anywhere you would like me to link for your shoutout. (I will edit your byline only for offensive and abusive language.) And if I deem the explanation worthy (or I'll pick out the best one if I get a bunch for the same comic.) I will post it on the site. And since this site is in blog format, I'll backdate it to the day the comic was posted and put it on the blog.
If you get your post up, I'll email you back with the link, so that you can share with all your friends.
Perhaps, at the end of each week I will put up a post with links to the new explanations of old comics for that week.
What do you all think? Ready, set, explain!
