<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just joined. Hope this is the right place to ask
for this. Forgive me if its not.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Im a Coranto migrant and just installed WP
2.1.3. My domain is <A
href="http://www.automobilize.com">www.automobilize.com</A>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basically we're a content development team in the
automotive world, parceling out columns and articles for syndication and
republishing, and also for showcasing our photography and videography we produce
at automotive events to supplement our coverage.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Im a journalist by trade and know just enough HTML
to be dangerous. Ive run a few VB sites w/CMPS etc. but I honestly dont have the
time or inclination to develop a WP site on my own. Im looking for someone to
help facilitate this and we'd be more than happy to throw a few
greenbacks in your direction for the trouble. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A little about our intent:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. An artistic feel to the site, probably
gray/black based and exploiting our logo colors elsewhere. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2 We'd like space on the home page to run audio,
photos and or video. We cant have a front page with just links and blogs.
Embedded video, usually we run MP3, WMV. Beyond the home page we need a nice
looking gallery for the photos and videos as well</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Various navigation links for our business (About
Us, Products, Photo, Video, Portfolio etc etc)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. We need a mechanism to publish articles in one
"repository" and blogs in another. Perhaps these are the WP 'pages'. Im not
familiar enough to speak on it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. Need 'posted by' or some sort of byline on every
blog/article.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>6. Some sort of avatar mechanism would be nice but
not mandatory.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have no problem cannabalizing someone else's open
sourced theme if it makes everything easier.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If Im asking the wrong questions to the wrong
people, just let me know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
