Developer needed for blog-based site

I am in search of a web development team to help create my site, which in the beginning will primarily be used as a blog platform. However, I also write articles and provide other content that I would like to post in various sections periodically. I do not need anything terribly fancy in terms of design; however I want the site to look professional and be easy to navigate. The right coder will have the following attributes: * Very skilled and knowledgeable in blogging * Decent design capabilities * SEO expertise, as marketing is a big part of what I’m doing * A patient attitude and the ability to teach me how to use my site and blog once launched (I am not terribly skilled in these areas) Outside of the blog area, we are only looking at maybe 5 or 6 static web pages on the whole site plus the articles and documents I will be posting. The absolute ideal situation would be to find someone on NYC that can help me, as I am a big face-to-face person…and see value in meeting with the coder I choose at least once. It’s not a deal breaker, but would be nice. Thank you!
