Feeling a bit foolish for ignoring your emphasized request for links and information. To answer your question about the phenomenon, at least from my perspective? I guess, at the time, I took it to mean that designers/design firms should email you directly if they were interested in taking on your project. Since I'm not one of those - I stupidly left the link here. At any rate.. best of luck with your design work, looking forward to your new look! Understood completely, Bacchus - no hard feelings.

I have a persistant problem with asking readers for feedback that includes links. If I ask for links in the comments, hordes of spammers descend and spam every irrelevant thing. But when I ask for feedback by email, even going so far as to emphasize the request in bold type, folks just blithely ignore my request, the way you did. I simply don't understand this phenomenon. Is it a reading comprehension thing, as I rather meanly suggested? Do folks simply not read to the end of the post? Or do they just figure my request doesn't apply to them, because their heart is pure? As for the particulars of your suggestion, they look like a promising design outfit, but they have no portfolio online yet, so I figure they aren't quite ready for prime time. Anyway, I've now found someone, via a reader suggestion -- by email. Kiki, it would have been a welcome suggestion … in email.

Thanks, folks. The move to WordPress is necessary; among other problems, GreyMatter doesn't make it easy enough to control spam. I've used WordPress on other projects, and it's lightyears ahead of GreyMatter on many important features. As for the template, I'm not looking for change for change's sake. I'm fundamentally happy with the basic structure and setup of the blog, but there are useability advantages to good design that I'd like to take advantage of. I'm hoping my designer will make it "the same, only better." If that makes sense. I’ve made some contacts and it looks like one of them is coming together. Thanks, folks.
