I make a quickie website for someone that wanted to make their own updates.
Now I've moved away and they are having problems so I'm trying to find
someone in the area that can go by and give them some help. Is anyone close
to Lenoir City, TN and willing to help them out at an hourly rate? (or
maybe you could work out a contract with them... I'm just not available to
help them in person anymore)

what kind of updates do they need help with and why does it require the
"physical presence" of a developer?
Well they sell classic cars and have a quick/high turn around rate on the
vehicles. So they have someone on staff that updates the site on a daily
basis taking and resizing digital photos and adding and deleting car ads on
the site. And even though this person had been using FP for over a year
before I got involved they just don't know what they're doing (they're up to
2½ years now). I wrote them a 8 page step by step set of instructions (with
screen caps) on how to add/remove cars and pages, gone over the notes with
them step by step in person on several occasions, and even set up template
pages for esch add but they still manage to have serious problems about
every 2 weeks. About half the time I can't even replicate the problems
they're having when I get there. And they still don't know enough about FP
to describe the problems to me.
 
I have two dealers like that. they're super cool people, they're just not
computer people.

I set up something for them like a "shopping cart" for cars type
arrangement.

if they can take their own pictures and upload them to my media management
I'd be glad to help them. or you could look for someone on that link I gave
you.

here's one of my car guys: http://lousgarage.com/ they do their own pictures
but have me resize and lightly edit them, then I attach them to the system.
It's nice because there's no "publishing" involved just an "admin" panel.

So what you are REALLY announcing is that you want to
introduce somebody to the client from hell. Gee thanks. ;-)

I'd still be interested in talking to the customer. Please forward my
signature or respond directly using an intelligent subject line I won't
confuse for spam. BTW -- Windows platform only.
