Subject: Section Editors Needed for In The 80s
Written By: ChuckyG on 04/30/07 at 9:50 pm
I'm looking for people who are willing to review the new submissions sent in to the 80s site, inthe80s.com
It's relatively easy, and is complete done within your browser (no need for extra software). What you do review the stuff submitted in the forms for a particular page on inthe80s.com. If the section is Christmas Music, you will log into a special editing page, that shows you the oldest waiting entry about Christmas Music that someone entered into the form on the Christmas section. You then make sure it's not already listed, and maybe hit a button to clean up the capitalization of the names, and fix spelling errors and hit a submission button. If it doesn't belong, hit delete.
How often do you need to review entries? As often as you like. Once a week is fine, more frequently is better.
Most of the sections on the 80s site are abandoned at this point, even though people were asking me to become editors I didn't have the time to assign people to replace sections that became abandoned. As part of the redesign of inthe80s I've fixed the problems that made this such a chore in the past.
I'd prefer people who are regular users of inthe00s and know the 80s well. You can pick which section you'd like, most of them are available except for the ones Dagwood & 80s Cheerleader are the editors for already.
What do you get? It's not a paid position (sorry!), but you do get a new role on inthe00s and access to a couple messageboards only available to moderators and editors here at inthe00s.

Send me a PM and I'll reset your username and password. It may still be screwed up from the server moves.
As for sections on inthe80s... you can have as many as you want.

I wouldn't mind picking up another page or two. I only really have two regularly busy pages. If you have anything music related, I would love to help.
