My name is Laryssa, and I am the founder and editor-in-chief of <em>Too Shy to Stop</em> (<a href="http://www.tooshytostop.com/" target="_blank">http://tooshytostop.wordpress.com</a>),
an online arts and culture magazine for young people. The site went live in May 2008
as a one-woman Wordpress blog. Recently, I recruited a
number of young writers who now contribute regularly to the site.<br>
<br>
I have dreams of transforming <em>Too Shy to Stop</em> into an online magazine (think <em>Slate</em> or <em>Salon</em>)
with advertisers, a regular readership, and a full editorial and
creative staff. However, I can't do that without a great layout and
design. I currently use the Journalist template from Wordpress.com; this template has worked for me so far because it is basic and allows the writing to shine.<br><br>I want to move my site to Wordpress.org (I own tooshytostop.com), and I want a customized template with a unique look. I need someone who can work with me to build an identity (logo and layout) and who can guide me through some of the technical aspects as well. I want to be able to post content on my own; I know the basics, but I will need a little help. <br><br>Also, I am located in the D.C. metro area; it would be ideal if I could find someone nearby, but it's not necessary. I am interested in hearing from Wordpress designers who would like to work on the design for an online magazine and who are creative, fresh, hip, and talented. Thank you!<br><br><br style="font-style: italic;"><br><br /><hr />Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093185mrt/direct/01/' target='_new'>See Now</a></body>
