Webmanager Needed At eClassics
Amicus noster Andrew Reinhard has recently accepted a position as the ASCSA Director of Publications (congrats, by the way) and does not feel he will have time to effectively manage his Ning eClassics forum/site. He is asking whether any folks out there might like to take over his duties there (“post occasional videos, do the odd blog, and serve as gatekeeper to prohibit site access by robots, marketers, etc.”). If you’re interested, please contact Andrew directly at areinhard AT bolchazy.com
