Volunteering for Non-Profits

IslaScotts · 10-20-2006, 11:52 PM

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a site specific to volunteering webmaster, webdesign, and graphic design services to non-profits. I know of volunteermatch.org but that encompasses all volunteer jobs. I found my old volunteer webmaster position for a local animal shelter through them, but I was hoping there would be one web specific. Heck if you know any non-profits that need those types of volunteers, hit me up. (sorry if this is in the wrong thread, had no idea where to put it.)

Actually...I need someone who can do something for a non-profit organization that I am involved with. My division of OLC will be starting up a blog. There's one other division that has a blog already. I want to use the same design so it flows with the rest of the website.

http://www.olc[dot]org - This is the main website
http://olcit.blogspot[dot]com/ - this is the IT Division Blog

I plan to have our blog done in Wordpress, not Blogger like the IT people did. And it will be hosted by us, not Wordpress. But I want to use the same design as them. Is there a way to convert their Blogger theme to a Wordpress compatible one?

We don't have money to spend on it (its not something they budget for), so if someone out there is willing to do it for free that would be absolutely wonderful.

(I replaced the . with [dot] in the links cuz I don't want this showing up in search engines, etc.)

No problem, but can you not type in all caps. It is considered yelling in a textual sense.

I think there are some plug-ins that make it so people can't type in all caps. That would be useful.

IslaScotts · 10-21-2006, 07:35 PM

you would think people would know by now not to do that, but oh well, I guess a plug-in would be useful

I will not use all caps
