I can help you with the following:

WORDPRESS

• Setting up a self-hosted WordPress blog.
• Helping you choose a theme/template and then customizing it with colors of your choosing, sidebar “bling,” a header, and more. (Note that I am not a graphic designer, but I can outsource header design or you can hire someone directly to make one to the correct specifications.)
• Teaching you the ins and outs of blogging on the WordPress platform.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

Once your blog is set up, I can install some helpful WordPress plugins to increase your chances of being ranked well in search engines, plus I can teach you some basic skills to optimize your blog posts.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

I can help you with the following:

• Setting up a Facebook fan or business page, plus adding some customized tabs to help your page stand out.
• Teaching you the ins and outs of Twitter.
• Providing some tips on how to increase reader engagement so that you can extend your “brand.”

MY QUALIFICATIONS

In addition to customizing WordPress themes for my own blogs, I have done similar work for Richard Carey > Digital Media. You may not be able to afford to have someone code a totally unique template from scratch, but you can certainly invest in having me “work under the hood” on a blog theme we’ve downloaded to make it look like your own.
