Paid Drupal services

i'm wondering how much it would roughly cost to have someone lay the groundwork for one of my upcoming site concepts. it's a site with user profiles and audio uploading. you would not be quoting for the theme, although if you are good at theming i am curious at how much that would cost too. i guess you should get in touch with me to find out more details? thanks!

Hi,
We launched http://uvHere.com last summer. It is an events portal that scrapes local websites and compiles local events. It is also receiving user contributed events.
Organic google traffic has been growing steadily and local response has been terrific.

Our current developer is stepping down due to school commitments and we are looking for someone who might be interested in an equity stake in our venture.
If you are interested please contact me at peter (at) tcwebsite.com.
Thanks!
Pete

I'm looking for someone to do some web design. The primary need is for layouts along with the XHTML/CSS to implement them. Much of this work is for someone to take existing sites developed by programmers and look at them from the perspective of design and usability (ex: rework form layout, add headers/footers, etc). Experience with Drupal is preferred (clearly) but some work will be done outside of it.

Offering bounty to experienced Drupal developer exchanged for setup of News Page, that RSS feeds display, by category, beneath "hardcode" category title, listed on homepage/frontpage of our site.

I do not really get how the RSS feeds, in conjunction with news_page, are actually visually displayed on homepage/frontpage(i.e. some type of php/sql snippet @ page.tpl.php)?

Utilizing feedparse aggregator. Both News_Page.module and Feedparse modules are currently in installed.

Thanking u advance for your time and interest.

Our company has been asked to create a few websites which need a catalog. We need an experienced Drupal developer to come in, help us set up the framework, and document what was done so that it can be modified and maintained in-house. I am an experienced PHP and MySQL developer, so I am looking specifically for someone that has done this with Drupal before. You will be expected to show examples of previous work, and answer technical questions during an interview. Please contact me through the forum system.

I used drupal 4.x and the old (gsitemap) google sitemap module for a long time. There were problems in the beginning because one of my sites had >10,000 nodes and the sitemap was too big. Then they put out some patches, and eventually support was added into the module to break the sitemap down into one index file that referenced chunks of the sitemap. My sitemap was broken down into 1,000, so the sitemap index file had of course ten entries.

Then I upgraded to drupal 5.x and was naive enough to think that the same functionality existed on the 5.x version. It turns out that the gsitemap module was ported to the new xml sitemap module, and this functionality was lost in the transition. That means only small sites can use the gsitemap module without locking up their server (with a huge sitemap), and google won't accept anything above 10,000 entries at a time anyway. That doesn't matter much since most servers crap out trying to render all 10,000 on one page anyway, taking all the available memory and cpu from your web server.

I (and all large sites) need this functionality in the xml sitemap module or basically it's useless. And for a site that big - it's imperative that the sitemap is there. Since I upgraded to 5.x and my sitemap is gone - my traffic has plummed some 75% in the last 3 weeks and my google listings have dropped to <200.
