Thybag 5 needs a News team so as to be able to find and write about interesting news from around the web.

On my own i only end up managing to update with around 1 new item a day, Im hopeing with more people updating the news, even if only every so often, More interesting news would become available at a faster pace.

The news is updated threw a custom built inline AJAX news system, which works perfectly in firefox, and creakingly in IE due to a browser flaw.

All you need is an account on thybag :D

==========================
How do i know what counts as interesting news?
- If you find it interesting and would want to read about it, chances are other people would.

How much news would i be expected to contribute?
- As long as you occasional provide interesting and informative news, where not really bothered, the more the better though.

Should i copy and paste the news?
- No, news on thybag should be written by the person posting it or at least paraphrased, so as to provided the most interesting aspects then leave a source link to allow someone to read the nity grity at there choice.

Can i use html in the news?
- No, but there is FULL BBcode support.

If the news is taken from a site, the BBC for example, a link to the sorce should be provided at the end.

No Payment is offered for the job.
