echeng 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Hello, readers. We're looking for one or two folks who might want to join the moderating team as dedicated bloggers. Your role would be to post one or two interesting items on the front page each week (e.g. an interesting photo that caught your eye somewhere, a new underwater photography gadget that we missed coverage of, a pressing environmental issue, a summary of a particularly interesting topic in the forums). Qualities we're looking for: - Wetpixel addict - decent writer - reliable, dependable - good sense of humor (helps!) - familiarity with web interfaces (blogging software, basically) Let me know if you're interested!

Scuba_SI 39 Posted January 16, 2008 But you have so many mods already who never post, get them to do it! My vote is for DeanB! However, he'd just post about himself all the time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echeng 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Volunteer moderators. Key word: "volunteer." I'll have to figure out another incentive, I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giles 1 Posted January 16, 2008 There was an incentive ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echeng 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Giles -- this is why you are not a moderator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mandarinfish 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Eric, If you are still looking for a volunteer blogger, or even another moderator, let me know. I've been on the receiving end of this community for years, and would be glad to pay back a bit and help out. Linda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echeng 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks, everyone! It would be fantastic to get more of the community involved over here. We're working hard on a server migration (which should happen tomorrow). After that, we'll start folding you guys into the system and training you on the front end. Time frame will probably be early to mid February. Wetpixel has a Socorro trip from Feb 1-10, and although most of the mods will still be around, Alex and I will be on the boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scuba_SI 39 Posted January 29, 2008 Do you get a free trip to Socorro? If so i'm in... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeanB 19 Posted January 29, 2008 Hey !!! I just read that defamation of character Simon... I'll have you know i have plenty of things to talk about....none of which features the immortal majesty that is DeanB Dive safe Dean(hunky, herculian, love god)B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtrski 20 Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) I'd be interested, and am hopefully litter-it enough, but as a budding, can't dive often enough to get any better photog, my once or twice a week blathering would probably not be of much use to anyone. Including myself. (Well, I suppose I could try for the 'beginning photographer' angle, be honestly and openly ignorant, and thus someone for other new people starting out to point at and say "hey, at least I'm not THAT bad!!" But I'm already married and don't really need another channel for self-deprecation. ) In fact now that I think harder about the empty, dry days between now and my next dive, I think I'll just go in a corner and shoot myself. With the camera, that is. (Is that an orangutan crab hiding in the worlds ugliest kelp bed or did he really put the macro lens down his pants???? ) Edited January 30, 2008 by rtrski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breals 0 Posted January 30, 2008 I'd be up for it. I used to write for Divester.com, posts are here: http://www.divester.com/bloggers/bill-reals/ I'm also an underwater photographer/videographer, but lately, I've just been taking pictures of wrecks, caves and the occasionally gray whale. Pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/billreals/tags/scuba/ Videos: http://www.youtube.com/wreals It would be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echeng 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks again for all your interest! I'll be digesting all of this and getting back to you in mid-February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
