Website software expert needed
I am in need of someone willing to manage the backroom software aspects of Behind the Black. My first software designer found he no longer had the time to do it, and the person I found to replace him decided suddenly that he didn’t like my political opinions and unless I wrote my opinions the way he liked he couldn’t do it.
The work wouldn’t be difficult nor very time consuming, but there are several areas of the website software that need cleaning up. If you are familiar with WordPress and website design and would like to help me keep this website up and running, please comment here. I will email you immediately.
This post will remain at the top of the site for the rest of today.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Greetings;
My name is Michael and I can assure you I love listening to your political opinions on John Batchelor!
I enjoy the website very much and would love to help out.

I look forward to speaking with you.
Keep up the good work and have a great day

Well, sh–! I don’t care a whole lot for your political views either, but you’re not a maniac, I don’t
have evidence that you’re deliberately cruel, and we’ve got some interests in common. I’d be
really upset if your website vanished because someone decided, in effect, to censor it from existence.
I can’t help beyond good wishes, unfortunately — I think a working website needs more internet
skills than I possess — but I’ve got my fingers crossed for you, and if an agnostic can say such a
thing, you’ll be in my prayers.
Good luck, Mr. Zimmerman. Carry on, please, for all of us.
Well, thank you much for the kind words, especially coming from someone with whom I know disagrees with me strongly at times.
Maybe you can talk to Steven Goddard at http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/. He’s a software guy who was recently looking for work, and has political views similar to yours.
If Michael’s efforts don’t pan out, my crew has the required skills.

“the person I found to replace him decided suddenly that he didn’t like my political opinions and unless I wrote my opinions the way he liked he couldn’t do it.”
That is just insane. Sounds like a typical leftist. They claim tolerance- but don’t practice it do they?
I’m sure you’ll find a skilled website developer to help you Robert. (I run my business website using wordpress as well.)

I wish you luck in finding the right person, Bob.
Bob: i’ve done plenty of this kind of work in the past, I don’t have the bandwidth to take this on long term but if you need immediate help or advice I would be happy to assist.
Well I think your political opinions and the manner with which you let them be known are spot on lovely. I always look forward to reading/hearing what you have to say.
I would enjoy assisting you. However I would need to know specifically what you require before knowing whether or not I can assist you. I probably can. The best of luck in any event.

Robert – I am just curious if you were able to find anyone here to help you out.
Of those who commented, two individuals replied to my emails. I have just come to an agreement with one, Shane Rolin of Amixa. Sometime in the next month the site should undergo a major change as we bring the software up to date.
