Posted September 19, 20168 yr Welcome to this Alliance recruitment center. Okay, it's actually a table in the corner of a cantina. We're not really keen on being taken out by a TIE/sa or two. Please don't draw attention to yourself by staring at the Stormtrooper patrol. They're looking for some droids and an old man and a farm boy that I'm sure are of absolutely no significance to the Rebellion. The Rebel Bloggers are launching a renewed effort to keep up with MOCs and news both here on EB and on other sites such as Brickshelf, MOCpages, and flickr. We're looking for one or two new bloggers to join us in lounging around in the Rebel Base this effort. How do you apply? It's as simple as sending a PM to Lobot, our Blog Master. Your PM should include two example blog posts: The first post should be your version of a blog post written to cover the official release of the new 75159 Death Star set. The second post should be of an MOC of your choice that you deem blog-worthy. Of course, this should not be an MOC that we've already blogged. You can blog any MOC (other than your own) from any site, and we'll be lenient as far as the time it was originally posted. Anything from, say...the past year or so should be okay. If you have any previous experience or skills that you think will be helpful, be sure to let us know about those in the PM, too. What do we expect from you? We don't expect perfection, but good English is important. (Especially when it comes to a blog that primarily features MOCs -- builders like it when you talk about their MOC with more than just "awsum!" or "Nice MOC".) Prior experience with WordPress, CSS, HTML, or blogging is helpful, but not required. We'll help you with that if you're chosen, so don't worry about it. We know you can't be active all the time, so there's no requirement for the number of posts you must make in a time period. Rather, it is the responsibility of all the bloggers (So that would include you if you were chosen.) to make sure that we don't go too long without posting new content. Experience and activity on other sites such as flickr and MOCpages is a plus: There's not always something to be blogged at the right time on EB, and not everybody posts their MOCs on EB, so we need to keep up to date with other sites. Having an account and being active on other sites is not a requirement, but it is something we will consider. What can you expect from us? You get a Rebel Blogger tag. Everyone goes crazy about getting more tags, right? (And you get the page on the blog which you can write a bio of yourself on and access to our Rebel Blogger subforum.) The afore-mentioned WordPress, CSS, HTML: these are tools we all work with, so we'll help you to improve your understanding of them, if you need help. You get to write for a blog that is read by hundreds of people every day, including people working in Billund!
September 28, 20168 yr Maybe that's a bit stupid question ;) but what is the Rebel Blog? Where can I find it? Any link? Thanks :)

Thanks :) It's the Star Wars forum's blog composed of several bloggers from the Star Wars forum who look around on various websites to blog about outstanding Lego Star Wars models. There used to be a link in the top of the main Star Wars forum, but sadly that is gone with the new forum update. Here it is: https://eurobricksstarwarsforum.com/

I do not mean to lecture you but in my humble opinion lack of a VERY VISIBLE link on the front page of the Star Wars forum will, sooner or later, effectively kill the blog. Like Kalais, new users will just never find it. Do you think it would be possible to restore the link?
October 3, 20168 yr Just a quick note to confirm that the deadline is Friday (7th) so you've still got a couple of days to submit your entries! We've agreed to delay it a little longer than originally intended due to recent forum upgrades. And, thanks dmaclego for the prompt about the missing link to the Blog - I'll ask the Admins to see if they can restore it
