Lets Try This Again. Can I Write Your Next Blog Post For You?

[Original Post]
I'm working on developing a portfolio for doing freelance writing. Now, by and large nearly all of my work centers around topics directly related to blogging. It's just something I find fascinating.

I need to build a portfolio of articles that are about other things and rather than set up dozens of blogs with just a post or two on them I figure, why not write for you and let you post the article on your blog.

some conditions on this deal.

1. G-rated preferred, PG=13 possibly considered anything beyond that not considered.
2. Preferably you need something NOT in the blogging, social media, entrepreneurial fields.
3. I get a small picture of me with an about Dane blurb and a link back to my freelance portfolio page at the bottom of the article.
4.The article is 100% unique. I maintain copyright but neither of us is permitted to re-post the article elsewhere.

Post the topic you want an article on and url of the blog you would like me to consider.

[EDIT] Please DO NOT post your link in this thread (for now)[/EDIT]

Post your blog and topic to my shout box or better still submit a 'freelance' ticket at heydane.com/index.php?act=tickets&code=open

That way I can type the article into the ticket and you'll get an email automatically when it's ready for you.

[For The Record]
I'm sorry that many of you got deleted posts in that other thread and I hope it does not reflect poorly on any of you. Perhaps I can convince admin to just delete the thread.

However the Link Solicitation section specifically says:

 Link Solicitation
Soliciting link exchanges or requesting links, votes, Diggs, Stumbles, etc. are not allowed in the discussions. If you would like to participate in an exchange program, please visit any number of Groups that were developed by members for such purposes. You can find them here

And that has no resemblance to what we were doing. I've PMed the moderator to question this.
[/For The Record]

If you do submit a ticket requesting an article, please also post a quick note here letting me know so I can go fetch it.

  It's cool. I sent a PM, and that's the right way to handle this.
  
  I'm just going to move on with the thread.
  
  I'll check out your blog, but it's been a Looooooonnnnnnnng time since I drank any beer. I might still be able to come up with something. Part of this exercise is proving I can still write about things that aren't my first line of topics.

Still willing to pay for your work over at R-O. I might have another connection for you, too, if you send me a LinkedIn request.

Why not just write for technorati or some such thing? It's still your writing and you get at least some exposure if they publish it.
