WORDPRESS MEETUPS

Last thing: Assuming you're near a city, go to meetup.com and search for local Wordpress meetups. Or Google "[your city] wordpress meetup." You want one aimed at users and not Wordpress programmers or designers. There you will meet people that can answer any further questions you have and they are happy to help. In my city, I went to a couple meetups. There were only about 10 people there, but most were semi-professional bloggers and there were a couple designers/programmers. It's a good way to get tips from users, as well as make contacts with some local designers. Wordpress can be tedious to get to look "just right." The Pareto rule is in effect -- you can get 80% of the benefit from 20% of the work. Once you get it 80% of the way there, it would probably make sense to pay an expert to tweak your theme rather than try to fix it yourself. Since a few designers will be attending the meetup, you can evaluate them then and consider hiring them in the future if you decide you need their help.
