I also remember coming across yours and feeling like it was a great match stylistically and philosophically. I had to say to myself, "you're spending too much time on this guy's site, send the RFP and get on with your life." Glad you like the new design-- we worked with a friend, Andy Collins over at www.inrgbwetrust.com , who does some amazing work. Not going to say that building it wasn't painful though. If you get some time, send me some feedback on it! -Rob I remember the pain of running through Elance portfolios like it was yesterday.

I just stated what I thought, based on my previous experiences with Adrian, as a fellow designer. I know the quality of his work and I would recommend him to anyone! @Chuck, no pun intended.

I had fun anyway. It's also the cause for all this, cause I didn't feel a severe lack of projects, so I didn't look into the issue. :) @Tony: Thank you! See you online! @Scorpiono: Yeah, that’s true!

I'm sure I'll have other projects to undertake, and I'll definitely recommend you to other people when the opportunity arises. Cheers, Tony Adrian,

It was my mistake that prevented me to get in touch, so don't feel too bad. As for the design, while I probably would have done it differently, I like what you have now and I think it suits your purpose. The most important thing about a blog design (especially in the early stages) is to make it memorable. Good luck! @pixel: Thanks of the heads up! Fixed! @Chuck: thanks for getting back to me!

So, I popped over to see what you had to say. After reading your post I was feeling bad, for not going with you in the re-design of our blog. You're in a tough business with a lot of competition. It's really important to stay on top of everything in this field. I remember being impressed with you and your email. I had several that didn't even respond to me at all. I added you to my database for perhaps future work ... you never know! Now, as for Alex! What wrong with my blog lol!!! Actually, it's a design my sister created and we just had a wordpress designer recreate it for us. She's also the one who designed Cookingbread. It's OK Alex it's all in fun lol!!
