Help Run VSO Journals
VSO Journals is a project run by me (Dave) in my spare time.

I'm currently looking to find anyone who might like to help with the site
either by keeping it updated (validating new submitted blogs and the like)
and/or giving some input into features and changes to how it works.

If you might be interested then drop me a line with no obligation!

Email me at vsojournals@purplepixie.org and we'll have a chat.
