> where did you find a good developer for Wordpress? I was kind of lucky that my brother in law has a software development firm in Slovakia. So I hired one of his employees with the agreement that I would just pay for his time, and there are no deadlines. That means this developer could work on my stuff in between their other projects (which do have deadlines). This way I could get a good deal on the rate. My fail plan was to follow him up closely, and if he didn't deliver the first week I would be able to pay for his time and don't request more work (don't want to get in arguments with family ;)). But it all went great! For you, I would try out someone and give them a tiny thing to start with. If they can deliver, let them do more. Since you're a developer you should be able to judge their work. That way you limit the loss when it doesn't work out.
