Before giving someone else control over your blog, with all sorts of possible ramifications, perhaps this can help:

I can help. I do charge $150 an hour for this help, but I’m very, very good.

Actually you can help me! $150,- is no problem, if you can help me double this $150,- I’m going to give you :)

Certainly. Go to http://raincoaster.com and use the Paypal button and I’ll be happy to help once I’ve confirmed the $150 pre-payment.

What?! Are you didn’t receive my payment yet?? You better start multiplying that 150! :P

You laugh, but how do you think I’ve made my living the last two years? By charging $150 an hour for social media consulting.

One a similar note:

I just had yet another request from a small not for profit organisation here in Australia to help them set up a website for their organisation using WordPress.com.

It makes sense because WordPress.com is so quick and easy to use – particularly if someone can do the initial setup for them.

I always so no because I am already way to busy but I was wondering if you guys knew of anyone who is volunteering (i.e. for free) to help not for profit organisations set up basic websites using WordPress.

I do that quite a lot, but all my volunteer time is already spoken for. You might want to contact staff directly and ask them. http://support.wordpress.com/contact

@Raincoaster – do you ever sleep?

Thanks raincoaster – I have contacted Support on this issue.

Note that the question is about people volunteering in general to help rather than finding someone who can help this particular organisation.

I find it frustrating to see so many small not for profit organisations with awful websites. I know that WordPress.com could work so well for many of them.

I am really interested in hearing from others who are volunteering & how they go about it.

@kalamarie123 not when I’m fighting with people on Twitter.

And a large part of my business is setting up sites for nonprofits and teaching them to use social media.
