[Stylist] wordpress

Sherry,
Yes! I am in the same boat as you! 
I have my website through Brighter Vision. It is owned by a blind w3oman in
Phoenix AZ and she is wonderful. If I have any problems, she calls me  and
fixes my problems. She is Jackie McBride if you ever want to inquire about
her services. I've had her for s4veral years. Very reasonable rates, too.
Lynda

There's a lady named Margaret Rode who has a website called
www.websitesforgood.com.

She creates websites, obviously, but does other things as well, including
working with WordPress. You might look at her site to see if she could be a
good resource.
