Total Posts: 1676 | We would like to expand our content pages (cgi-bin/pages.cgi) and fix some of the old ones.
If you are interested, you can respond here. It wouldn't hurt to give us enough information to be able to determine whether or not you are suitable for the position. This position will be open to more than just a few people. We would like to "hire" (unpaid) enough people to get some new and better content on the site. This includes help-guides, programming tutorials, and anything else related to calculators or this website.
If you are hired and do a good job, you just might be promoted to full-administrator.
If you are a global moderator on the forum right now, you will likely receive the "content manager" position if you desire it. Just post here and ask for it.

Total Posts: 1676 | Ok, you should be able to edit and add stuff in pages.cgi.
Soon you will be able to do the same with faq.cgi.
Were you a content manager earlier? you might already know how to do stuff...

Total Posts: 1676 | Ok, go to the portal and look around at the "content pages"... it should be pretty self-explanatory.

Total Posts: 1676 | There aren't edit buttons on every single page. If you go to the content section (or just pages.cgi), and click on any one of the sections, there will be an edit link for each page.

Total Posts: 1676 | Zachary: you should now also be able to do stuff. Go to the portal, then at the very bottom there is a section about "Content Pages" or something. You should be able to edit those pages and add your own.
Once we get a few more, we'll go over what needs to be done and how to do it.
Edit: by the way, good spelling and grammar is also important here. If you see any errors in other pages as far as spelling or grammar, that's one of the things that you should be fixing.

Total Posts: 54 | I can almost imagine exactly 3 years from now, when someone replies to this topic and says, "dprog, you're hired!"
Spelling and grammar are my Internet specialties, but I honestly believe that this site has more than enough staff as it is.
