Hello,
I was wondering if you accept guest post for your blog. If you do, I would like to submit a few. I’m a recent college graduate, with an English major, looking to build out my portfolio. I can write on a wide variety of topics and am sure you would be happy with the quality. Please email me back if you are interested. Thank you for your time.

Hi -
I started TheNBXpress.com from scratch in Nov. 2009, after getting laid off from a construction industry job. We are really beginning to pick-up steam, growing in readership and advertising support!
We are located in a small town in Northwest Ohio, we are fortunate enough to have a new CSX Intermodal Rail Yard, just outside of town. There is much going on in our little burg (3,500)!
It is one heck of a ride, learning new things everyday, in so many different areas and facets of the operation! And so much to do, so little time, not enough help, not enough knowledge… But, I look forward to the challenge of every day and know that God will help me get through each one of them!
