I am just getting started with Wordpress and I want to modify an existing template. This will include changing the color scheme, adding the right plug-ins, and providing me with a brief tutorial for how to add products that I want to promote. Full instructions include other sites as examples of what I want to do. All of the things I wish to do are common in most good blogs. I will give the individual access to the server to accomplish the work. In addition, I have attached a copy of the blog theme if you wish to work on it on your own, and then upload the finished product. The scope of work desired is also attached. This job may lead to a long term relationship and additional income, both from maintaining this blog and designing others. We also have two full Web sites that we will need to bid out in the next few months. Thanks. Jerry ----------- Scope of Work October 28, 2006 Hello, I look forward to discussing my project with you and hope we can put together a productive working relationship. Thank you for looking into my project. Sincerely, Jerry Roberts --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms I like to work under: All changes and creation made to specifications given, and proven to work correctly. a. In the case of color scheme and/or general design I would like three concepts and will approve the one I like best, or will request for more options to be created. b. I should be allowed two changes on each item before being charged at a higher rate. If there is a charge for additional changes, that rate should be clearly stated in your bid. ---------------- Please note: I am involved in the publishing of a print magazine so I know good design and how it works. I understand the frustration of a client continually changing his/her mind. I will not do this. We will together focus on what we want to accomplish, I will listen to your advice as my clients are asked to listen to our advice, then we will make decisions. Once we accept a range of colors for example, we will then tweak the scheme until it is what we want -- we will not change everything unnecessarily. ---------------- 2. Any plug-ins and/or programming must function as expected, that is, to work properly and without any technical glitches -- otherwise you agree to replace them or re-work them until they do work properly, and at no additional charge for these adjustments. 3. If any work performed causes the Wordpress blog to malfunction or perform in an unexpected manner, you will agree to re-work the design or plugin, or whatever work was done -- or troubleshoot the problem until it is resolved -- and at no additional charge. 4. We will request a written record of the work that was performed, explaining to me what you did, as well as the items used and where they can be sourced. Example: the name of plug-in and a link to its site, if it's not in the general Wordpress Plug-in directory. -------------- What I want to do. This is my personal site that will carry some of my writing. It is a blog based upon a Wordpress theme that I want you to customize. The blog will also host audio programs that I create, and link to training programs that I will sell. I will want to monetize it with Google Adsense, affiliate opportunities, ads in the second and third columns, and other means. It will also offer the opportunity to sign up for a free newsletter, as well as to subscribe via RSS. Work to do: Customize Wordpress theme: [login to view URL] (There is an English version to download and use for this project. It is attached.) Please look at: [login to view URL] The ALA blog is based upon the Law Blog theme. There are somethings here that I like and would like to integrate into my blog. 1. Header. I will provide you with an image to use in the header. 2. Change color scheme. Please look at: [login to view URL], as this is what I would like to test first with its reds, dark (titles) and light gray (accent next to margin), and black margins. I���?�?�m not suggesting that we must do a blanket copy of anything, just stating what I think is attractive. The colors on ALA are okay, too, for a secondary choice. For a third option, please look at: www.31three.com. I am looking for a stylish, yet somewhat conservative look for this blog as it will market mostly to management personnel and business owners. 3. Add to navigator at top. Please see: [login to view URL], as this site is based upon the theme I have selected. I like how their items light up when you mouseover and a thin line appears above the word. You may have better ideas. 4. Navigator titles (in order across the top): Home [login to view URL] Articles Training Resources About Contact Donate Voices 5. RSS/XML subscription, newsletter subscription, search. Please look at [login to view URL] and see how they handled this, with these items in the header portion. This is an option for us. Otherwise, it can be handled near the top in either column two or three. We will need to create the subscription page for RSS/XML, along with the logos and links for the various options that are available ���?�?� such as Newsgator, Bloglines, etc. I would like to offer as many options as possible, along with instructions on how to do it. For newsletter subscription, we will need the box for first name and e-mail address. The search function should be set up and functional, with options to search the site or the Web. If the reader uses the option to search the Web, I���?�?�d like a new page to open up in their browser, and for our page to remain open to them as well. In fact, any time they click on a link that takes them outside of our site, our page should also remain open. 6. Categories. Can be in either column two or three and should be near the top. I like how [login to view URL] does this, except that I want my categories closer to the top. We will not do separate XML feeds for these categories, at least not now. I do like how each category opens up and lists all the posts from that category in one long, scrollable window. I���?�?�d like to do that, if possible. Alternately, there could be a menu that lists all the titles of each post or article within that category, and the reader can just click on what he/she wants. 7. Ads should be prominent. Please see [login to view URL] for how he did it. There is a visual ad "block" on many pages, right at the top. A small ad at left, a large banner in the main section, and another small ad possibly in another column. We don���?�?�t have to do this exactly as he did it, but I know why he placed them there��� because of the "golden triangle." the place at the top left of the page that the eyes go to first. Pavlina reports that he has been successful with both his ads and Google Adsense by using this region of the page for his ads. I���'d like to see how we can do it successfully, and I'm open to ideas. I know that we are putting a lot of things on the page and it may not be possible to fit everything in perfectly. Since we are going to a top navigator, I understand if you have other suggestions. You may also suggest a left-hand navigator, and we can also look at that if you feel it is better. 8. Ad/promotion boxes with images. Please see both ALA and [login to view URL] for how they create these boxes with images of a book or something else to seel. I really like how they do this and I need for you to tell me how to do it without messing up the layout. If it���?�?�s code, please create a template for me to use so that I can make these when I come up with something else to sell. Then, I would like a step-by-step tutorial on how to place it on the page correctly. I like how ALA does this with a light frame around the box. They also use a dotted line to separate the items in the column. We could use that or a thin, solid line. I like the dotted for now. There should also be a box with Recommended Products for the title. Clicking on that would take thew reader to the page with all items we suggest for them. I may also want to use video to help sell the item, particularly a training course. I would probably use something like [login to view URL] or maybe do it ourselves and host it on our site. These will be short video to provide information to help readers make an intelligent buying decision. You should be aware of this and be able to help me place the code properly on the page or link to the video on another server. 9. Other Images for Categories of Items to Sell. I may also want to use various poses of me to indicate a type of item to sell. Please see again the basic theme: [login to view URL] to see the images of a man and woman in the third column. I could take photos of me reading for books I'm offering, me watching a TV for DVDs, me with a laptop for training courses, and so on. Then, the reader would click on the link or the picture to view all of the items available under that category. 10. Audio. Please look at [login to view URL] and click on audio. It will provide an audio player and a listing of programs. I like this, but I'm willing to use something different if you feel there is a better program and way to list the audio programs available for listening. I understand that Wordpress has something called PodPress and there are others. 11. Comments and comment spam. I know there is a good plug-in to allow comments, and to protect against comment spam. This is important. I don't want spam on the site. 12. At bottom of blog. Please see [login to view URL] for how they do this. I would like FAQ, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Contact, Free Newsletter, RSS/XML Subscribe, and another search box, along with a copyright statement like (copyright symbol) 2006 Jerry Roberts. All Rights Reserved. 13. Separating Posts. Again, ALA uses a dotted line to separate posts. I like that, or the thin, solid line. 14. Making New Pages. Maybe Wordpress does this automatically, but I'll need to know how to create pages for the items I'm selling. If there's a box that offers a DVD, for example, I'll need to make a page that describes the DVD, then be able to link to the shopping cart to sell it. Hopefully, you can advise on how to make this happen correctly. 15. Continuing Relationship. I will probably need maintenance done on this blog and it is best to use the person who helped to create it. So, if we work well together and the prices are affordable, there will be additional income opportunity. 16. More Blogs. After this project, there are other concepts I would like to work on, including one with a greater level of participation and need for video tutorials in the blog. We also have two Web sites we will need built. Thank you for your attention to this. I know that much of this work is very simple for people who know what they're doing with WordPress, and it won't take long to do it. I just need to explain things in general terms, not technical. I hope to hear from you with a good price, as well as when you can begin the work, how long it will take to do it, what elements you need from me, etc. Thank you -- Jerry

What you're asking for is pretty straightforward: basically you just want the appearence of your blog (not its internal programming) to be tweaked. Plus you want some added functionality to your blog by way of Wordpress Plugins. 10 days is just a pessimistic estimate. You seem very clear about what you want, and prepared to communicate with me to achieve it. Will be done. Can begin as soon as I get the go-ahead.
