calling in the calvary

So here’s how it is.
As some of you may be aware, my job regularly takes me away from home, sometimes for remarkably extended periods of time. I just returned from one such period, but have been blessed with relatively good connectivity for most of it. That said, my schedule over the coming months is… complicated.
Like I said, I am back in my current abode, so I will be able to get back to my “regular” posting habits. That said, Better Half will be arriving tomrrow, so you can imagine just how important posting on my weblog will be in comparison to spending some time with her. Hey, I have a hot wife… can you blame me? If that were not enough, a little while after she comes to visit, I will be leaving once again, only this time for a much longer period than before.
What is all of this leading up to? Well, as I have mentioned previously, I really do not care about how much traffic this weblog does or does not get – just not something worth worrying about. I do not make a whole lot of money off what advertisements I have here, so that really does not matter. I do not write this for anyone except myself, so that part does not matter either. However, any way you look at it, it is something of a shame to let an already-constructed, already-running, already-trafficked weblog just sit and… well… sit… for however long I am unable to tend to it.
As such, I am now holding an open casting call.
Have you ever wanted to start weblogging, but were too intimidated by the prospects of trying to set all of this jazz up for yourself (and it really can be a royal pain in the arse, let me tell you)? Do you want another weblog to which you can crosspost entries, to get them a little more traffic and exposure? Are you just so prolific that your writings cannot be contained within a single weblog? Do you enjoy writing on a variety of topics, ranging from the Second Amendment, to comedy, to Firefly, to atrocious laws, to dumb people and the things they do, Battlestar Galactica, to just about anything else? Are you still reading this?
Well, what I am offering is unfettered access to write and publish on this weblog. Once an hour, once a day, once a week – whatever floats your proverbial boat. As for topical matters, I would prefer if you shared at least some of my own personal tendencies on things (after all, this is my web space, and I am responsible for its content… makes things easier if I agree with said content), but I am willing to entertain applications for just about anything.
What limitations are there? Well, there are a few ground rules. First, whatever I say, goes, period, full stop. As I said, this is my web space, rented though it may be, and I am both responsible for its content, and paying for it. Second, if you do apply for the dubious honor of posting here, you and I are going to have to have a sit-down and chat, probably over email or some form of instant messenger service. Ideally, I would like to see some products of your work (assuming you have a weblog of your own), but we can work out the finer details. Third, there are some things I simply will not tolerate. The list is relatively short, and we can discuss it when we have our chat, or if it comes up. Fourth, if you take the “job” as a poster, I expect you to… well… post. Not with any great frequency, and I am not really picky as to how often in general at all, but once in a while would be the whole point.
If you are interested, drop a comment here (apologies for the amazingly slow turnaround time between pushing the “publish” button on those and the comment actually cropping up… maybe you can help me with that…), or send me an email at “linoge funny-little-”at”-icon wallsofthecity.net”.
