Update: Some have asked what specifics we’re looking for, so we’ll do the best we can. See below updated text in italics.
In case you missed Infendo Radio #18, Infendo is looking for a plethora of site contributors. We’re relaunching the site with new writers, a new skin, a new platform, and new features and need some multi-talented ninjas to help. Here’s what were looking for:
- Writers. If you got the blogging chops and feel like you’ve got the Infendo editorial vision down, speak up! Looking for daily news posters and feature writers. Must posses snark, humor, and personality with an ability to use good editorial judgment in what should be posted on the site. Quality control is key for relavent news stories, while keeping that “Infendo Charm” that Mario is always talking about. A weekly newsletter compliation editor is in need too.
- PHP/CSS developers. Looking for skilled PHP/CSS (xhtml compliant) blackbelts familiar with WordPress tweaks, plugins, apps, phpAdsNew, and PunBB design/development. Ability to slice up designs in xhtml strict css. WP work: theme, sidebar widgets, advanced image uloader development (Blogger like), digg-like plug-in/app for user submitted stories, PunBB integration, promotional link app, phpAdsNew integration.
- Other. Got ideas how to make the site better? Know your way around SEO and analytics? Pitch your contributing idea, no matter how far fetched to us. We’re all ears. Graphic and flash designers for Infendo ads etc would be nice.
Though all positions are volunteer (read: no cash), bylines, credits, t-shirts, belt-increases, and other assorted goodies are in order. To apply: send an email to team@infendo.com with your interest and relevant work examples. And for those with critique skills, post your thoughts in the comments below regarding current site feedback, and where you’d like to see Infendo go prior to Wii’s launch.
Hey guys, anything you want doing photoshop -wise , ask me. I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT, place your faith, i'm willing to help. I've done loads with that software and have the latest version to boot. dajaco_dc@hotmail.com (posted the 'hidden wii pages' under 'dajaco'-name in the forums a bit ago)
On second thoughts, i'd be willing to write for the site too. I'm English, and i have an A level in the study of language (study of lexis, syntax, pragmatics, semantics, phonology, graphology, language change, etc,,,) – I know its hardly a qualifier, but i think my inherent 'En glishness' could have its phraseological appeals – and i wont wing about the use of 'z's instead of 's's and 'color' instead of 'colour' too much either – promise 🙂
I am a Nintendo fanboy from long ago, and I know Scott. Does that get me in? Actually… that might get me OUT.
I will send you an email later chap but I work in XHTL / CSS all day for a very large company, I will email you examples but if you need a quick start I made Gurn.net about 2 years back, good at PHP used to run forums ranked 80th in the world on Big-boards but they are not as busy these days.Worked on SEO a lot and various other things, Im more than happy to help but my outgoing email from home is screwed, Il have to dig out my Gmail details later.Anything you need guys just ask though, happy to help.Rowan
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
Nice quote, straight off the dark side!Good to see this site isnt just fanboys eh!
I would say "straight from the Wall", but that's just me…Hey, does knowing Rollin automatically disqualifies you??
By the way, Blake, why don't you open a topic on this on the Forums, under the "JOBS" classification? I would like to see some comments on the level of expertise you are expecting from contributors…
Got me there mate, someone was sleeping this morning eh…Luckily my coding is better than my tunespotting!
Ahh my gmail is messed up, I cant remember the username il get it at work in the morning. I would really like to help out though, if you need someone and am pretty damn good at this kind of thing if I do say so myself.I work for a very large media company and we deal with about 5million unique users on the sites we work on. I will email details tomorrow, ahh.
Damn! This site is full of Code Monkeys!! (I should know… I'm one of them!)
Rowan sounds smart. You should hire him Blake.By the way, it would be nice to have a Flash Ninja on the site. He could make a game or movie once a month for the site. that would be great. Especially if we had a popular one… Joseph Blanchett…The super Flash Bros…
Nice one jake, I work on the following sites…metro.co.uk dailymail.co.ukthisismoney.co.ukthisislondon.co.ukthisistravel.co.ukused to run Gurn.net back in the dayI do CSS, XHTML, PHP, javascript and JSP and have been playing nintendo since the great year of 1988. used PHP ads new aswell if you need a hand.
Eh. I would apply to be a writer, but I really wouldnt have the time to do it. I could probably only be able to do a post anywhere from 2 – 5 days.But this is going to be totally sweet. I cant wait to see ohw the site looks after its relaunched.Looking forward to teh awesomeness.
Sorry, for my above post, I meant 2 – 3 days.
Cool thing, hope you find good people – one question: how many people are working together?
