Maintaining a zombie blog can be hard work. In an ideal world, it would be all about the content, but truth be told, there’s a lot of marketing, a lot of site maintenance, and a lot of small “one-offs” that eat into the actual time reserved for blogging.

For those of you who just want to write and forget about the rest, you will be happy to know that zombie news site, Zombiephiles.com is going user generated. All you need to do is create an account, then start writing some articles. Once submitted, the site owner will act as an editor by fixing typos and other low hanging fruit, then publish it on his site.

Here’s a few more details:

Starting today, all registered users for Zombiephiles.com will be granted “contributor” status on our WordPress installation, meaning that you can create and edit your own posts. They’ll still require an administrator (this Zombiephile) to actually publish them (and probably do some spell-checking here and there), but you’ll be able to write articles right from the Zombiephiles.com site.

Not sure you have the chops? Man up! (or Woman up! We don’t discriminate.) If you’re not savvy with images, HTML or formatting – don’t worry about it! We keep a half-zombified HTML guy in the basement to worry about that sort of thing. All we need from you is your ideas and opinions about all things zombie!

Sounds like a good opportunity for those of you who are interested in writing for a zombie blog, but not wanting to make the full time commitment as of yet. Just a note from a freelance writer, before you submit your work to any site, make sure you understand the terms. Some sites such as Triggerstreet.com (Kevin Spacey’s production company) actually claim ownership of anything you submit to them. I would assume Zombiephiles to have a pretty liberal policy, but it’s always better to look down before you jump.
