We’re looking for a few good…bloggers. Are you passionate about the joys and challenges of modern homelife with children? Are you an excellent writer and skillful photographer? Would you like a place to share your ideas and inspirations with a large design-centric community? If this is you, jump below for the details. (We’d be especially excited to hear from dads and folks in the Midwest and West, but the search is open to everyone.)

Ohdeedoh is looking for a few new, fresh voices to join our team as bloggers. These are part-time, paid, freelance positions.

• a good, fast computer
• a reliable high-speed internet connection
• a digital camera and excellent photography skills
• Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
• knowledge of how to use all these things

The link to the application form above will ask for the following information:
• Your name and contact information
• Where you live
• How long you have been reading Ohdeedoh
• What you do in the offline world
• Special areas of interest (room tours, how-to’s, age group, books, crafts, etc.)

The form will also ask for 2 specific sample posts with text and pictures - choose one from the first category below; the second is a Round Up. Please submit posts written specifically for this and not for another blog. Look to Ohdeedoh for the general style and format of posts for submission. Keep your post to 200 words max.

A Round Up post should include an introductory description of what you are rounding up, 5 photographs (ask permission if they are not product photos) and a 1-2 sentence description, source with link and price (if applicable) for each. Sample post.
