You'll need to post an entry every day so it shouldn't take you very long to come up with 2 sample posts. I imagine they’ll keep looking at applicants until they find someone they’re looking for.

What’s up with that? Actually, what we said was, “The compensation is so small that you may not even notice it is there.” It involves a cut of the ad revenue (my share from inception to date comes to about US$0.20) and you get your beer bought for you when in the physical presence of the publisher, which is helped by a proximity to Manhattan (for me, fairly regular; for Jeff, not so much). There’s also the intangible benefits you get from sharing your opinion with the world, and occasionally annoying William G. [...] [...] You said “compensation”. What’s up with that?
