This isn’t a “How To” article on hiring a web designer; it’s a “How Do I?” post. I need to hire a graphic/web designer for a blog project I’m brainstorming, but I’m not sure how to go about doing that. I know a couple of designers, but I need to know what important questions to ask them before I make a decision. So… what questions should I ask prospective designers?

If anybody reading this is a blog designer and would be interested in talking to me about my upcoming project, please send me an email and include some FAQs about your business and a link to your portfolio.

Thanks for your help!

It’s been nearly a week since I’ve done anything blog-related. I haven’t written anything on mine or read anybody else’s because I’ve been doing so much traveling and haven’t had any time to sit in front of a computer.

Last Thursday I went into NYC to see “Spring Awakening” and spent Friday taking photographs around my old neighborhood in the theater district. Friday night I took a train up to Danbury, CT to visit some college friends and stayed until Sunday. Monday I rode an Amtrak train down to Washington, DC for President Obama’s inauguration on Tuesday, returning to my parents’ house in NJ on Wednesday. Today I have to get myself together because I’m flying back to Omaha tonight.

My sister is coming to Omaha with me and will stay for a couple of days. Even with her there, I hope to return to my normal schedule as much as possible, which includes blogging because, truthfully, I’ve missed it! I have a ton of photos to edit and post–pics from NYC and DC. And I have a bunch of stories to tell, such as my experience standing on the Mall in DC on Inauguration Day.

So stick around, I’ll be right back!

I just discovered the gorgeous blog Little Brown Pen. Nichole features the most beautiful images and created this fantastic video. I’m totally in awe.

According to WordPress, the top three ways readers find my blog is by searching for Kirsten Dunst, Heidi Montag and Dirty Dancing. I find this very humorous.

How did you find my blog? Are you a subscriber? I’d love to know!
