    Hello everyone.
    I have been searching the web for writers for my tech blog and really thought I had hit the jackpot here with so much useful information, but then I saw the forum posting rules that required me to wait 14 days and post 25 threads in order to actually do what I came here for. Not very helpful really...

    I am sure this came about because of the sheer volume of ignorance that makes up a large portion of the web. I feel like its a shame that they ruined it for me and for those guys I could have helped.

    So anyway My name is Slim Pickens I spent about 3 years in the web design business in the 90's back before the .com bubble burst. I made a fair amount of money and sold my company deciding to return to my first career as a professional chef.

    A few years ago I had a heart attack and decided that the stress of the kitchen was far too much to deal with and started writing. Now I have written prolifically since high school but not for the general public. Once I realized I had a bit of talent in the area I decided to take what I knew about web design and marketing and put it together with my new found passion for writing.

    I combined these 2 things with my overwhelming and life long passion for shiny things and developed a blog dealing with personal electronics, mobile computing and the like. It has been a real experience for me as I go about trying to build this business from scratch.

    I recognize that original content is key. So I have been scouring the net for more writers. those that will work for an revenue % which I set much higher then most of the other blogs and news sites I have seen in my travels.

    The web is slow. It took me 2 weeks to cajole google to index my site. I write an average of two articles a day right now while I spend the rest of my day seeking writers and better ideas. So here I am. Unfortunatly with a 25 post minimum before i can post in the business sections its likely I wont be seen there. But I'm glad you were able to meet me here.

    Your name can't seriously be Slim Pickens can it? :p Either way, welcome to the forums and hope you find what you're looking for.
