Volunteer WordPress.com expertise needed


We are looking for experienced WordPress administrators to help with the running of this site. The two existing volunteers are aged and decrepit and as many schools in the area have WordPress based sites this would be a good opportunity to get some experience of a large community site but it is possible to administer it from anywhere in the world.

We have nearly 10,000 visitors from around the world and 20 – 30 regular visitors a day. There are 150 pages and 162 posts.

It is hosted on the free WordPress.com site and consequently is a subset of the full WordPress platform so volunteers with full WordPress experence will find “easy to maintain/boring as heck” depending your background.

The posts are mirrored on Wing Community Facebook page and @wingrutland Twitter account.

Please email editor@wingrutland.uk if you or anyone you know is interested.

Rural Watch is a free scheme set up to support communities in the fight against rural crime.

If you live, work or visit rural communities you are our eyes and ears. Join our police officers and a network of people who share information about crimes in rural areas, and help to reduce opportunities for crime to take place.

Together we can actively take steps to prevent crime, report suspicious incidents and provide education and reassurance on the issues that matter the most to rural communities.
