Zeropaid is looking for news editors.

[Jorge]

Zeropaid is looking for several news editors that can assist us in posting news on the homepage. each day over 10 stories are submitted and we need help editing them and pushing them live.

if you are interested, please let us know.

[BloodySabbath]

Editing consists of what? Spelling and grammar corrections? Or is more complicated then that?

Either way, I'd say I come by here often enough to help out, so sign me up.

[Jorge]

yes, both. but also the editors are responsible for publishing stories on the homepage, which takes only a minute. heres a snapshot of the process:


1) all the stories are placed in a que after being submitted.

2) editors assign a filename to the story.

3) spelling and grammer checks are done.

4) story is pushed to a flat file

5) homepage include is created.


it helps if the editors have some html exp.

[Foreverboard]

Um..... I would still like to help.

[Vladd44]

I'll help any way I can.

[Jorge]

ok, great. when i get back from vacation, those of you who i can trust will get access to newsadmin. i would before i go, but im afraid of what might happen if i do.

i will write up a word doc explaining the process.

To become a Moderator or Editor, How much Online Time would that require? IDo you have to have the project done a certain time of day? (I work 40 hrs a week in the day, but can you do the job around nightish?

[BloodySabbath]

Keep in mind that your night might be my day, depending upon where you live and what time zone you're in.

[Jeramey]

Jorge,

I would like to be a News Editor once again. I'm not sure what happened before but you took my access rights away to it or something. Anyway I have lots of time to do it now that school is a week away from being over and all I do in the summer is sit on my computer. Hope you have a good time on your vacation. email me at jerameyjannene@hotmail.com

[Jorge]

i need a news mod that can check the site daily to post news. can anyone do this? i sent bloddy a email but no response yet. we need help so we can work on cooler stuff. zp is about to get lots o love!

[wessman]

Jorge:

If you absolutely don't find somebody to do it, I'll take the "job" ... just be sure to kick my ass if I do it wrong!

Damnit I need to stop doing stuff for free!

[BloodySabbath]

Jorge: You've got mail.

I check the forum a couple times a day so i should be able to keep things up to date on the news page.

Random Request : can you put the little icons back on the main forum page that show when there have been new posts in a certain forum? Ya know, the little check marks that are either dark or light blue?

TIA.

[Jorge]

you both have been added to newsadmin.

email matt or send hit him on AIM: AH Stud 4 Life
he will take you through the steps.

[Matt]

Ya...hit me up... I'll walk you through it and answer any questions you have. I already walked through wiggum yesterday. Takes about 15-30 minutes so have that time set aside. Maybe faster. I'm Pacific Time so I don't know what the two of you are.

[roger d]

I sent you an e-mail of my conversation with Wessman about how to set it up...that may or may not help you, and I would really like to go over it with you on AIM, it makes it easier. -Matt
