blog designers wanted
Alistair Shrimpton of Six Apart and myself are trying to assemble a central database of folk who build blogs, wikis, websites etc on a professional basis. Please go check out the wiki and feel free to add your name (or the name of a recommendation) to the list.
People are always asking the both of us, “Where can I find a good blog designer?” We thought it was time to come up with an easy-to-use solution that anybody on the planet could make good use of.
If you know anyone who qualifies, please spread the word. Thanks.

The best way to support gapingvoid is to sign up to
"Hugh's Daily Frickin' Cartoon" Newsletter.
A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
This is probably the most funny cartoon of yours (of those that I have seen). Hilarious!
I like Doug Bowman.

I just build blogs for fun. I suppose that doesn’t count, right?
And, the cartoon is hysterical.
Hugh, I just put a note on the picture of me (by Bill Thomspon btw) telling people they can get the tshirt at gapingvoid.com…
When you’re *really* rich, you can take me out for a pint.
A database of designers is a great idea. So many people who 6 months ago had never heard of blogs are asking for them now…
Yesterday at OpenTech Tom Reynolds mentioned that he knows three people personally that have got jobs because of their blogs… and he wasn’t counting people he’d only read… and I don’t think he was counting either you or me… It’s been a long time coming, but I think it’s gonna hit big here in the UK and *everyone* is going to want one/need one/have one…
Time to start podcasting methinks…
I agree, Gia. I’m already fully booked with all my blog/Cluetrain/Hughtrain work…

That cartoon made my day! Thanks!
I’m all for Hugh pod cast. I’d like to hear him interview some of the people he works with. I’d like to hear a brainstorming session related to one of his projects.

that cartoon was so cool, i would like to share it on my blog. i know your cc license says you share, but i want to make sure you don’t mind me linking your picture.
i wish i could be paid for blogging. i wonder how i can get paid to do something i am passionate about. i guess i need to find a genre or topic first, huh? i probably need to graduate to something more sophisticated like MT too.
