Looking for people to write articles for Saturdays and Sundays

By nwilliams

Hello all.

One problem I have is that I don't work Saturdays and Sundays. If I have some free time then I pop on to approve comments, but I don't have the facilities to upload pictures with articles.

So I am looking for people to write articles for me that I can 'future date' to go live on Saturdays and Sundays.

You can write the article any day of the week, and I will set it to go live at the weekend.

The articles need to be a mixture of reviews, news, fun things to do, questions, and other things that will keep people entertained over the weekend.

The idea is to make people want to click on lots of pages, so the titles need to be catchy, and the content needs to be really interesting.

You also need to promise to abide by the Bored?! rules, and you HAVE to upload a picture - from a selection which I will give you.

Is anyone interested?

    Ok - you are all in. You can get started straight away. The only rules are that you HAVE to include a picture, and it HAS to be one of the pictures already on this website, you check your spelling and grammar to the best of you abilities, you use capital letters at the start of sentences - especially in the title, and that you try and use a really catchy title.

  • sweetpea (Age 11) wrote on Thursday, 28 April 2011 @ 13:00

    Ok nic I will try. :)

  • fjw2011 (Age 9) wrote on Monday, 2 May 2011 @ 09:46

    im not allowed to upload pics

  • nwilliams wrote on Monday, 2 May 2011 @ 12:49

    Minxymoo - that's fine. as long as it is a picture that sticks to our rules. If you have drawn it yourself that is even better as it is original so will stand out.

  • nwilliams wrote on Monday, 2 May 2011 @ 12:50

    Fjw2011, do you mean pictures of yourself? That's fine. It is better to be safe than sorry. All we are asking for this is that you draw a picture or upload one of ours with a weekend article. That way, it is easier for me to click on it and set it live each time.

    I have some questions: What does 'future date' mean? And the other one is: What does it really MEAN to do a Saturday and Sunday article? Does it mean what YOU did at the weekend, eg:holiday,party Or do you mean on First News?
