Lee,

Andrea Weckerle (one of your regular readers) pointed me in your direction. I run a design agency in the UK specialising in web design, blog design/integration/PR and new media strategy. If you're still interested in getting someone to help you out with a design overhaul I'd be happy to 'talk' it over with you and see if we can help. You can check out our site at www,five2nine.co.uk and my personal blog at http://publickthoughts.blog...

Looking forward to hearing from you

Sam

*Apologies if I've also sent this a number of times to your email. I wasn't sure if the form on your site was working and I wanted to make sure it got to you*

G'day Clarence,

And I have heard your sweet, gentle, dulcet tones on FIR, too! {smile} Which is why I am able to imagine you actually *saying* the words you typed.

Re your templates -- from where did you get them? Are they part of the geocities package? Are they free for anyone to pinch/purloin/screw up and fix?

I'll keep podcasting as often as I can -- thanks for understanding that time is sometimes a rare commodity.

God bless,
Lee

Although I don't use it for my blog (I use Blogger & one of their CSS templates), I am on my second template from oswd.org for my webcast/personal site (www.geocities.com/claren44/.... The template I use now (Reflection) has been screwed up & fixed...er, modified by moi several times. All templates are free & many if not all validate as CSS & XHTML. Just substitute image(s) & content & you are set.
I first heard you on FIR, & now subscribe to your podcast. Having run a webcast for 4 years, I appreciate how little time you can steal for the podcast, so I thank you for any future shows you can find time to create.
Love & Peace, Clarence Jones

And I figured out how the 'related posts' works in RocketPost: it automatically picks up frm your technorati tags on a post any previous posts with the same technorati tags.

Ahh, young master Jenkins, those are autopost links for other less-popular services than Flickr, Technorati and the like...

It's a WordPress plugin slotted in by the kind and wise Ben Hamilton for me.

The colours are nice, hey?

Hey Lee, what are those funky-dunky icons you have at the bottom of the post?

hahaha -- feel your pain! That's why I put in the proviso about Win/IE and Ffox -- because Win/IE is notorious for being standards non-compliant!

I put my neck on the line. Either the 4th and final day off work was going to show some real dividends and I pick up on things in a flash, or I'm seeing things which are already there (which is just as dangerous seeing things that aren't there, on occasion).

The expression is synonymous with you, it has to be here!

I would, of course, offer you my services at an unbeatable price (I'm on the CSS learning curve myself), but it took me two days to get my cocomments page together. And that still isn't perfect yet.

Damn Internet Explorer...!

Blimey -- you ARE observant, aren't you!
Yes, been fiddling while Rome burned... Figured it made a good 'hook' since I say it at the end of every podcast.

Have you been fiddling today or has that big grey and red Communicate with Passion! section of your logo always been there?

Thanks Andrea - much appreciated! p.s. I've just filled in the 'what was your major?' quiz -- ooops!

Lee, I sent a link of this post to someone I know who designs blogs and websites. I hope they'll get in touch.
