ZDNet security, semiconductor blogs open for user submissions

We've added a few more blogs to our user submission experiment: Zero Day and Chipland.

For background, we opened up some of our blogs for user submitted blog posts on Nov. 1. We started out with Web 2.0 Explorer, which examines Web 2.0 technologies, Between the Lines, Office Evolution, ZDNet Healthcare, ZDNet Government and ZDNet Education.

In many respects, this experiment is more like Blogger Idol since we’re looking to fill those spots on a more permanent basis. For instance, we're looking for an anchor blogger for Chipland. If you have some semiconductor expertise we'd love to hear from you. We also want to round out our security blog with more voices.

Here’s the submission tool (comments to improve it are welcome). And here are the steps.

1. Establish an account with ZDNet.
2. Log in to the tool with your ZDNet credentials. Anyone that already has posted a Talkback has these.
3. Click on the “Select Blogs” tab and then click “Add a blog”
4. Select the blog or blogs to which you would like to post and click “Add Blogs”
5. At the bottom of the submission tab you’ll see “Post new content.”
6. Then enter your headline, post and categories. Hit submit.
7. From there your post will show up for an editor to approve.
8. If approved by an editor it’ll wind up in its appropriate blog.
