[wp-pro] need WP pro help -- willing to pay

[Joshua Fruhlinger]

Just to follow up on this -- I "magically" fixed things by rebooting  
my HTTP server, but I don't trust magical fixes.  Would love to hear  
from people how much they would quote on helping me get to the bottom  
of a number of nagging tech issues next week, possible including  
working with my Web host on issues that may be on their end.
