Just as the Quickie is a good way to get started solving, becoming an every-other-week Quickie blogger is a pretty easy way to join the Times for the Times blogging team. While we have some pretty fast solvers, we are not too picky how good you are, just as long as you can get home eventually and are willing to take the time to write and post the blog.
We have developed various tools over the years that makes blogging easier, although not all the bloggers (including me!) have taken advantage of them. All new bloggers are offered any training and instruction they require in how to write and post the blog, although so far it is turned out that many of them are pretty sharp about this sort of thing.
If you are interested, please leave a comment, and I will contact you.
