I am looking for someone to help me maintain my foursquare badge list. With everything going on in my life right now, keeping it updated is becoming increasingly difficult, so I am looking for some help.

The person I am looking for should:

1. possess a basic understanding of WordPress
2. have a thorough understanding of how foursquare and foursquare badges work
3. be familiar with HTML

Responsibilities will include:

1. coding new badge update posts
2. coding new badge pages and updating existing ones
3. keeping current with foursquare Badges
4. seeking out new foursquare badges
5. comment moderation

A few other things to know up front:

1. Although it probably goes without saying, I have to put it in black and white: this is an unpaid position.
2. Pages and posts will be of the same design as what I have created. While I am open to suggestions as to how to improve aesthetics and readability, all design decisions are solely mine to make.
3. In the beginning, all posts and pages will be set for moderation before they will be posted to the site. Once I become comfortable with you and your work, I will open it up for automatic posting without moderation.
4. Posts and pages authored by you are limited to foursquare related information.
5. Failure to abide by the conditions listed herein will result in your author status being rescinded permanently.

If you are interested, author a new badge update post and email me the code at webmaster (at) thekruser (dot) com.

For examples of what the posts should look like, refer to these posts.

Thank you for your interest. I hope to be working with you soon. Have a great day, and happy foursquaring.

Help Wanted: foursquare Badge List Author is a post from: thekruser.com

Just got another tip from my friend Nan Palmero: BlackBerry Power User. Shout “zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” (without the quotes of course) to unlock the World Cup 2010 badge on foursquare. No specific number of zs, just a bunch of them.

Enjoy!

Thanks again, Nan!!

The Badge	The Name	What to do to get it
	Lookin’ for Love*	First you have to follow Bravo on foursquare. Then you have to check in an unspecified number of times at undetermined locations. Rather ambiguous, huh?!? Unfortunately, that is all I have. You know all the hottest singles spots and can now proudly wear BRAVO’s Millionaire Matchmaker Badge of Love.
	Keep Austin GOOD*	Judging by the quote, I assume this badge is earned by checking in to “non-adult themed” venues during SXSW 2010. Not sure, though. Austin’s not just weird, it’s good. Congrats on navigating the SXSW mayhem and finding the GOOD spots. Your mom would be proud!
	Met Lover	Start by following Metropolitan Museum of Art on foursquare. Then check in twice to the museum and the badge is yours. This badge’s quote has not been located…YET!
	Bing World Cup	This badge irritates me. This is the first step in the “over commercialization” of foursquare; and in this blogger’s opinion, foursquare will fail if they continue to add this type of badge. Here is why: the badge itself is no different than any other badge. It is unlocked by checking in to a location. “What location?” you may ask. The answer: use Bing Maps. That’s right! To find the locations that unlock the badge, you either have to get lucky or use Bing Maps. Why does this irritate me so? My answer: where does it end? Next we are going to have to install additional vendor/company apps on our phones just to get a badge. I am fine with having to “follow” a entity to get a badge because it really doesn’t effect much, but when I am forced to add information-mining apps on my phone, opening myself to location-based advertising, I will stop playing the game. How many different apps am I going to have to install or use to get a foursquare badge in the future? Just my opinion. This badge’s quote has not been located…YET!
	Six Flags Funatic	Start by following Six Flags on foursquare. Then check in 10 times to the same Six Flags location. What’s more is they are incorporating a the biggest foursquare-related giveaway to date (as of 12 June 2010). The contest runs from 10 June through 7 September 2010. At close of business on 7 September 2010, each park’s current Mayor will receive a free 2011 Season Pass. They are also planning on giving away a chance to win a 2011 50th anniversary “Exit Pass” allowing immediate ride access onto Six Flags signature coasters all season long, among other prizes. Don’t miss out! This badge’s quote has not been located…YET!
