I recently gave up a position working as a daily blogger for The Dating Weblog. This is a blog associated with the Creative Weblogging network and is a paying blog position that is now open for someone else to take over. This blog is about the topic of online dating and is best for people who want to write about relationships in general and online dating sites in particular.
The posts I wrote included information about new and niche online dating sites, ideas on where to go on a first date or a holiday date, etiquette suggestions for interacting with romantic partners online, recommendations for books and sites about online dating and links to technology related to online dating. However there is some flexibility to define for yourself what type of posts you would be interested in doing for the site.
The site requires 3 posts per week, averaging approximately 300 words per post, Monday through Friday. Links out and images are also required on the posts. The pay is a flat rate of $84 per month. It’s a good gig and I enjoyed it while I was doing it. It was just time for me to move on. (See this post on steadily increasing freelance income to learn why I give up some good gigs).
In addition to this blog, Creative Weblogging has several other blogs that need new writers. These include technology, wedding and UK Travel blogs. Learn more and get complete application information here.
Question of the Day: Can anyone with experience working on another Creative Weblogging blog share some of that experience here?

Hi, you say that you used to blog for online dating. I was wondering if you have heard of Virtulove.com? I have heard a buzz about it and how great its going to be. Virtual reality, virtual venues, and special events. They have the realest looking avatars I have ever seen. They are not up and running yet but if you go to the site and put an email in they give you the first month for free. If you know anything about this site please let me know. I want to know if they are for real.

I was the beauty editor at CW’s Are You a Beauty? from October through December 2007. When I was hired, there was some contract restructuring going on that was beneficial to me over some of the bloggers who were already there–I was allowed to post less and still earn the same amount of money. In December, there was another contract restructure that I decided wasn’t as good for me, so I resigned. Still, it was an easy, enjoyable gig; there weren’t a whole lot of ridiculous stipulations or anything, just some general guidelines they want you to follow.
