Alright, here's the deal.

We are starting a cB news blog. It will be run by members, and anyone can contribute. The topics are whatever people are willing to write about.

there are two types of positions available:

Columnist- a columnist is responsible for at least one weekly column.
Contributer- a contributor submits articles whenever they wish.

The columnists will function as a board of directors, each with one vote, in charge of making decisions. They will elect one chairman in charge of calling votes and other simply administrative tasks. Votes will be given a time deadline, and all submitted votes tallied afterward; voting is not a requirement of columnists.

anyone can be a columnist, and thus a board member, as long as they're willing to put in the time to write an article every week.

articles can be anything as long as they are:

1- clean.
2- well written

If you would like to join, have an opinion, or would just like to observe and comment, go here: http://s12.invisionfree.com/CBNewsStaff and register.

Not much is decided yet, and not much is set in stone. More information can be found here: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...163037&st=0

most relevant discussion happens after my post on the first page.

Eventually we hope this will become the main page of cB, so sign up now and help set out direction.

I'll be happy to be a columnist. Time is not a problem for me since I have classes online and will definitely be on cB at least once a day.

Please try and encourage as many people as possible who will take this seriously to get on board with this, everyone!

I think that someone should post this topic in the Writing section. Writers there would probably like to join.

This sounds interesting, I'm looking into being a columnist. I just registered for that other board.
