And we need you to start yesterday.

- You enjoy making content look really good, because our readers deserve it
- You can multi-task, working on two or three posts at the same time, and without making mistakes
- You can efficiently prepare photos and artwork for web publication
- You know the difference between an “em-dash” and an “en-dash” and you know a little about “Anil Dash”
- You enjoy working with writers and editors to help conceptualize content with available images, video, etc.
- You know HTML and CSS because you love what you can make it do
- You can create mock-ups in Photoshop and you know how to implement designs as HTML and CSS
- You have experience working with digital maps, charts and other visualization of data
- You might dabble a little in Adobe Flash, but you are wondering if HTML 5 can be a possible replacement for Flash
- You are interested in current events and public affairs and you perhaps even curate important articles on your blog
