I'LL HAVE MY PEOPLE CALL YOUR PEOPLE
Joe and I will talk in the next couple of days. Over the past few months I've listed a set of sites that have the look and feel that I hope to achieve. It is not my intent to copy any one site. There are features that I want to build in that I've seen at various places.
I've got a name picked out with the domain registered and hosted already. I've got ideas about the "theme" of the site and a possible logo/graphical look. I need someone who knows how to translate the vision into CSS or HTML or macros or templates or whatever it is that makes up a weblog. Along the way we've also got to keep things running and working while bringing all of the existing posts forward!
Steve Pilgrim: "I wish I knew of someone in the Radio arena who provided [weblog design services]!" Hello! You do know someone like that... here's a clue and here's another. Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one ;~] [jenett.radio]

THIS COULD BE GREAT NEWS
Could Bryan be the Stacy Tabb of the Radio world?
A new Bryan Bell theme called Moveable Manila Blue. Bryan says: "CSS themes rock!" [Scripting News]
No disrespect intended by the Stacy remark. I'm hoping that Bryan might be willing to take on some custom CSS development for some Radio bloggers that want a new design!
Check out Bryan's new site as well. It looks great!

IS MY HTML HEAVY?
Ya know, there's always something to worry about!
Does the Site Need Weight Watchers?. Latest and coolest bookmarklet: Page Weight & Speed (IE only, drag this link to the browser Links bar.) from Gazingus. It calculates the file size of the currently loaded HTML [meryl's notes]

THE MT TYPES ARE OUT IN FORCE
Read this and the next post and you'll see what I mean
Template modules. Did you ever notice how easy it is to use the same piece of markup in more than one blog template? Don’t you just hate it when you have to make the same change to, say, your blogroll in your... [Caveat Lector]

AUDIO REVIEWS AND SUSPENDED BELIEF
From the people who tell you they can hear a power cord
An employee of a local Starbucks once took an entire paragraph of some six or eight sentences to describe the "Coffee of the Day." It was "nutty, but had the hint of a mossy flavor as it cooled..." I was in tears, but tried to be polite and stifle the laughter.
However, I've read these audio reviews for years just for the hilarity! Power cords hooked to speakers provide you with a deafening sixty cycle hum right before they melt. Apparently, some folk can hear them even when they're quiet. 
Casting doubt on hi-fi reviews. "particularly solid and clear bass, extended but without ever being excessive" "tonality of most instruments and voices seems generally natural, with just a hint of dryness occasionally" "a slight loss in tangibility of sound, which in turn makes for a little less listener involvement" "Imaging is excellent and there is no detectable change in character with level." On their own, you wouldn't be surprised to learn that these quotes come out of a hi-fi magazine. However, you might be surprised to learn that these quotes are describing different digital interconnects. [kuro5hin.org]

RESOURCE FOR DESIGNERS
LogoLounge. LogoLounge is inspiring for logo designers. Get logo news, monthly picks, featured designer, and trends. [Link HotFeet] [meryl's notes]
For whatever reason, this reminded me of Stacy Tabb who has apparently focused on providing weblog design services to others. I wish I knew of someone in the Radio arena who provided similar services!
