Need help working with Wordpress

Hi, I'm in the process of developing a customized blog using Wordpress. I'm non-technical, but am somewhat knowledgable on basic HTML and have been able to do many of the basic customizations myself. However, I need someone who is a little more technical to do some of the harder customizations. I also need someone who can just help me make modifications that I don't know how to do. I will most likely hire you for an initial set of work, and then do follow-on projects as necessary. Please give me a quote for $30 and tell me what your hourly rate would be to support me on this, and also your experience and background in working with Wordpress. If you have any flair for design, that would be very helpful as well (as I will need you to be able to make the site look good) Thanks!
