Help - I Need a Database and Wordpress Guru
I’m thinking of undertaking a large shift in my blog network development and I’m finding the need for a Wordpress and Database Guru. I’ve thought about using a CMS like Joomla but I don’t think that it will be quite what I want and have too much extra junk that I don’t need.
So what I’m looking for is someone who knows the ins and outs of Wordpress really well, knows MySQL and also knows Java fairly well too. I know enough to get me by and I’m sure if I had about 40 more hours in the week to work on just programming I could find a way to develop what I want. But I don’t and I need to be efficient.
Therefor I’m asking my readership if they are or know anyone who is very keen at tinkering with wordpress, setting up and interacting with PHP and MySQL, and knows how to integrate all of that as well as throw in some JAVA. If you or they know how to and would like to do the design work as well that would be great!
I’m sure there’s a lot of small groups of people that run design “houses” but I just don’t know of them and would love it if any of you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks all, hope I get some good responses. I of course would offer money, possible profit sharing from the network, and maybe even some ownership of my to be formed corporation.

Although I wouldn’t consider myself to be an expert, I am a self-taught user of PHP, MySQL, and even a bit of Wordpress. To demonstrate the caliber of my work, you can check out one of my blog aggregation sites, the Webmaster Reporter (http://www.wmreporter.com). I created this site and 7 others like it with PHP; it automatically fetches RSS feeds from several webmaster-related blogs on a daily basis, parses the data and saves to a MySQL database, displays post headings and excerpts, allows keyword searching, and tracks outbound clicks. In fact, you may want to add your RSS feed to the index, since you have some good webmastering content in this blog. Your posts would then be displayed along with content from several other similar blogs. On an semi-unrelated note, PK is an old friend of mine from high school… he can tell you more.
