MyBlogLog hiring two engineers

Have you got the web skills that pay the bills?  MyBlogLog is adding two engineers to the team and we'd love to recruit them directly from our membership -- after all, it worked with Robyn   If you are a kick-ass LAMP developer or Ops engineer, then we want to hear from you.

A couple of ground rules:

• You must be eligible to work in the United States
• You are either close to Berkeley, CA or willing to relocate immediately
• You must like gobs of money -- Yahoo! pays really well

There are two openings, so make sure to read both.  If you fit either of these positions and meet the ground rules above, please send an email to eric@mybloglog.com along with a resume and a list of sites on which you've worked.
