Blogging Barter

My second grade class spent several weeks on a unit about Amish communities. One of my favorite parts of the unit was the shoofly pie my friend Kristen W.'s mom brought in for the class. My second favorite part was the emphasis on bartering (before the unit began, I had watched an episode of Reading Rainbow all about the Amish community and wowed my classmates with my knowledge the practice).

What does shoofly pie, bartering, and Levar Burton have to do with Wild and Crazy Pearl? Well, the time has come for W and CP to migrate from Blogger (the current blogging platform I am using to "publish" this blog) to Wordpress (a bit of a more advanced publishing platform). Some people describe Blogger as Wordpress with training wheels...and it is time for the training wheels to come off!

The kicker is that, like most things, I want to customize the way the Wordpress blogs look. And I don't like one of the 100 and something templates that are available...and I don't have the HMTL and graphic design knowledge needed to make the changes to the Wordpress templates that can be edited.

This is where you come in:

I'd like to barter my photography services for a little blog redesign. Perhaps there is a graphic/web designer out there looking for a new head shot or perhaps some family photos? Or maybe you're getting married and you'd love a little Emily G. photography to document the day or a pre-wedding engagement session? So spread the word, far and wide!

Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested: emily.goodstein@gmail.com. And...keep your eyes peeled for a slightly updated look to W and CP sometime in the (hopefully, near) future.

I can vouch for your amazing wedding photography skills. That would be a deal for your designer!

I'll keep my eyes open for possible helpers. Let me know how it goes. I've been thinking about moving to wordpress too.

Jealous of your move to Wordpress. I really want to, too. Why did you decide to make the move? Wish I had made it to that meeting with Miriam!

You can see if you can get anyone to barter with you on this new barter website...it's called paymewithachicken.com (fun name, right?) You can upload a video of what you have to trade, or just a picture but the video makes it interactive/creative and it's easy, say what you're looking for. and see if anyone is interested.

About Me

My Photo
When I am not busy helping non-profit organizations raise money online to change to the world, I leverage my status as a DC native (and expert Googler) to recommend products, restaurants, recipes, and shops (in addition to other things I find mildly diverting) in my blog, Wild and Crazy Pearl. The photos and witty banter are all mine, and don't belong to my lovely employer. I spend too much money on Itunes and lots of time in Planned Parenthood board meetings. My favorite possession is the cobalt blue Kitchen Aid mixer I used part of my Bat Mitzvah money to buy (it is still going strong). I also enjoy wearing hooded sweatshirts, drinking grapefruit juice, and falling asleep with the TV on.
