Ninja Consultant is Leaving Livejournal; Seeking WordPress Designer

After many years, I've decided to stop using Livejournal and switch to WordPress. This might mean a feed change, but I'm not sure yet.

In the interim, I'm looking for someone to make a nice WordPress theme for the page.  Not for free, but I don't have a huge budget, either, so think flat fee and not an hourly rate.  Email ninjaconsultant (at) gmail if you're interested.

Things I'm hoping the migration will solve:

  1. You'll be able to see old episodes in the feed, instead of just two or three episode.
  2. A better search function.  It's freaking impossible to search through old livejournal entries.
  3. Not owned by Russians.
  4. Less comment spam…?

I'm not all that fond of WordPress either, but I know how to use it, and there's a Livejournal migration tool.
