So I figure to help alleviate some of the load I have right now, asking for help seems like a pretty good idea. I have more than enough content for the site, but no time to post it. So consider this a “Help Wanted” ad. I’ve gotten a few offers from people willing to help, but I need someone with some experience. So if you’re interested in becoming part of an award winning team, hit the jump to see what qualifications I’m looking for and apply within…
We are looking for someone who has a lot of time on their hands. The ideal candidate would be a high school or college student out of school for the summer, though that is not necessarily a requirement. I am looking for someone that I can email articles any time of the day to post within a reasonable amount of time. The following experience is a must:
- Experience in WordPress blogging platform
- Basic experience in Photoshop or other graphics program
- Basic experience in html and web technologies
- Ability to follow instructions, meet site guidelines and use common sense
- English as a first language, preferably… grammar is important
The position will be considered a temporary internship, with the opportunity to stay on full time. There is no pay involved; however, you will be fully recognized for your contributions and depending on your location, may receive perks such as access to shows in your area and opportunities to meet with artists promoted on the site. This is also a great opportunity for someone looking to gain experience in blogging or journalism.
If you are interested in applying, leave a comment below with your qualifications and I’ll get back to you.

1. not a lot of experience in Wordpress but looks similar to ones on myspace
2. worked with photoshop in my yearbook class
3. not alot of experiece with html tags
4. follows instructions
5. AP English
just graduated a couple days ago. whatever i dont have experience in I can learn quickly.
Lmao@ D.J Chew! From your comment, you are 4 out of 5 in the qualification requirements. LOL (Just playing)
Ya’ll crazy… lol.
1. Some experience with Wordpress, mostly , though.
2. Some experience with Photoshop, but mostly GIMP and other open source programs.
3. Some experience with HTML and XML
4. Can follow directions, meet deadlines and use common sense as hopefully shown with past experiences working with you.
5. English is my first language, two years of college level English under my belt, and served on the e-board of my university’s Book Club.
I’m a college student majoring in Communication Studies and minoring in Media Production with a strong interest in music. I am also a regular reader/commenter here and try to help contribute when I can (Kanye posts so far). I have ambitions of working somewhere in the music industry and keep a small blog for myself and friends mostly pertaining to music and other things I find interesting. I am not attending school during the summer, just working part time and already dedicate a lot of my time to keeping up with music and the internet, so that wouldn’t be a problem for me. Music and writing are two big interestz of mine and I would love this opportunity to help start getting myself established.
This is a great idea Kev. If you need someone to do additional screening or interviewing let me know.
Just because it’s not paid, it doesn’t mean its not a great opportunity.
I can say first hand, working for KevinNottingham.com has essentially changed my life and my career path… it has only opened up more doors for me

Sound like an interesting prospect. I was just looking for a way to get involved, so this post is a good look. I’m a senior in college, English and Japanese minor, I doubt that that Japanese will come in handy here. I ‘m from ATL, but I’m usually in Florida. When I was in high school, I had some pieces in the local paper, nothing too serious. Might be able to give DJGrain some help with those Georgia/Florida stories.

Never used WordPress, I usually just type in Notepad and HTML.
2. Basic experience in Photoshop or other graphics program
Used to use Adobe, now since I’m in school, I don’t mess with it.

I’ve been using HTML and designing websites for the last eight years or so.

That’s a given.
5. English as a first language, preferably… grammar is important
I think I got a basic command of the English language.
