The Liberal Christian Network needs .. well.. a staff of volunteers :^)

I could use some able assistants. We now have newsfeeds coming into the news and views area. What I would like to do is have a team of people split up the newsfeeds between them and scour them daily for interesting articles. Then (after signing up for the blog) they would need to post a paragraph and a link to the rest of the article. We will include both off-site articles and relevant on-site ones as they start to come in.

The goal is to provide 3 excellent newsfeeds of our own in Religion, Politics, and Green Living. If you have a passion for any of those areas and want to help people become informed, and if you are committed to doing about 15 minutes of cutting and pasting per day everyday we could have those most excellent newsfeeds up and running in no time. :)

Additionally, again if you have a passion for a particular area.. such as Gay Christianity, and would like to adopt or co-adopt that topic you could take on the responsibilities for finding and adding new content as well as writing some of your own.

1. I need some more info

I probably can help out some. I'm volunteering on a campaign so my political time is focused on that but I do spend much time on news so I could direct some your way. If I could have a couple of specific tasks then I could probably commit to that. Good luck.

2. Well it took me several hours today to collect and post these

Actually, I still have to finish the Politics feed. :(

I am trying to get enough people together that we can have "bureaus" This person covers international politics, this one covers US politics, this one covers religious right watch.. that sort of thing.

I am trying to get things set up so that people can just cut n paste from Notepad into the blog template, and that we can just index multiple articles under a single entry as "related" content, thus shortening both the workload and the blog pages. I still have a bit more tweaking to do to perfect it but anyone who has a basic understanding of html would be able to correct any mistakes that pop up.

So do you have a particular area that you would want to cover, either as a writer who submits to LCN or as a news collector who combs through favorite newsfeeds for articles about a certain subject? I think the more passion you have for a subject the easier it is to get the job done.
