Latest releases
What changed: You can now request an article instead of writing one. Pick your subject, answer a few guided questions about a real event you worked or a topic you know, and add your photos. FindBartenders writes the article, reviews it, and publishes it to your profile.
Why it matters: Each article is another page showing what you know, connected to your name and your city, and you don't need to be a writer or find the time.
What to do now: Think of a recent event you're proud of, then submit an article request.
