Do you think you might like to write for whipup? Become a contributor?

I am currently trialling the idea of readers being able to write the occasional draft post for consideration - if you have an idea for a story, or a a tutorial that you would like to do for whipup let me know and I will organise access. This would be a great way to become more involved with whipup and show off your skills in a a particular area.

Read the following info and if you are still interested email whipup@gmail.com

What does it take?
You need to be able to write, research and use a computer.
You need to have a passion for handcraft and for blogging.
To write a regular post you need to have the time - a few hours a week to devote to researching and writing something original. But if you are interested in writing a draft post for consideration - which might be a one off then this will not be so important.

What do we look for?
Someone with a good record of regular blogging - you don’t need to have a well known or popular blog just a good one (definition of good blog … don’t know).
Be good at writing, have a good idea, or can do a good tutorial.
A devotion to and passion for a particular craft (or several).
Knowledge of wordpress would help or basic html or be a little computer savvy in some way - or prepared to learn.
