A few of you have reached out already, so I can provide further details. I understand the thing with blogging is, anyone can do it, but just because someone writes a blog, doesn't mean there's any accuracy to their technical writing, lol. I'll do my best to evaluate the quality of their articles. Hopefully I find a couple really thorough writers... As for MVPs, what's the best way to reach out to some of them? Just search for them on various Microsoft Technet forums or is there a better way? Anyway, drop me an email if you want more info.

I do a lot of blogging and I've seen my articles quoted as technical authorities by clients ahead of vendor best practices. You should always apply a very precise disclaimer. On the other hand, I'm always available if anyone wants any freelance writing with regard to EUC subjects...but it will always be specified that it's not to be taken as Gospel. At the end of the day, it's just a blog posting and provided as a guide rather than an absolute authority.

I have a reason for this - there are two blog writers I know about who produce at three posts a week who are VERY inaccurate in their posts. They are published in ezines that are common in the industry. It makes me ill to think about the number of people they have led astray over the years. That may sound elitist and I apologize for that - but generally the MVPs are pretty solid. There are certainly other folks who are very good. Investigate what they've done, regardless of who you pick, before signing them on. :) From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jesse Rink Sent: Monday, December 28, 2015 12:11 PM To: ntsysadm Subject: [NTSysADM] Technical blogs Since the list traffic is light this week, I was wondering if someone can help steer me in the right direction, or if anyone on the list is interested... I need 1 or 2 people that are interested in writing IT related blogs for a website. Would pay on a per-submission basis and would need a 2-4 blogs per month on average. Blog articles would need to be 300-600 characters in length, and shouldn't take you more than 1-2 hours for a person to write-up. Blogs should be IT based, and preferably (but not necessarily) with a focus on one of the following topics: servers, networking, firewalls, security, wireless, active directory, backups, virtualization, general IT rants/raves, etc. Since the person writing the blogs doesn't need to be local, I'm not sure if anyone is aware of any "blog-freelance-for-hire" sort of websites I can look for potential writers? Was thinking maybe about Spiceworks? Feel free to contact me/respond OFF list. Thanks J
