Tuesday, April 12, 2011 at 1:19 PMI run two websites that use default WordPress and ComicPress templates. Clearly I’m your man.
If that doesn’t work for you, if you guys ever need someone to write one article a week from Brisbane and are willing to pay big bucks for a guy with no experience, I’ll probably be available for that :p Hell, if you pay enough to let me quit my current job, I could even write two articles a week. You can’t get much better value than that.
