short-term and easy freelance gig

hi – i’m looking for someone who can design and build a VERY simple website (probably a custom blog, utilizing moveable type or similar software) and “quote-a-day” type email list functionality. design should be simple, clean and fun and definitely not amateurish. code is easy and would take an experienced web programmer a day or two at most. i can’t pay much as this is a “labor of love” for me as well, but this cause does have social relevance and meaningful intent, so you might feel good about it in addition to making a few bucks. i’m also more than happy to promote your services and/or contact information on the site. please contact me for additional details.
