Why not become an author for this blog?
Posted in: Misc by Ingo on January 29, 2010
After more than 100 articles in this blog I am still not running out of ideas for future posts. I just wish I had more time for blogging and producing video tutorials.
I know that many readers of this blog are also experts and wonder if anyone would like to write an article for the blog. Dermot was the first with his article about his sunburst Schecter Strat copy. So, if you feel you have something interesting to say (e.g. about your guitar, about playing techniques, about some incident in your life that has to do with Mark Knopfler or guitar playing, or some product review or whatever) this blog might be the perfect forum to reach the public.
WordPress (the software behind this blog) allows sophisticated rights managements so you can get an author role and can log into the backend. Writing and layouting are really easy, so don’t worry. Of course you can also simply send your text and pictures via email and I can do it for you.
I would like to have the last word about releasing an article to make sure that it matches certain quality standards.
If you are interested, please use the contact form (under pages) in the left sidebar or the comment function of this post to get in touch.
Looking forward to what might come
