Sarah,
It was good to meet you at WordCamp Savannah. I know that a lot of the members of the Atlanta WordPress Users group attended your presentation and were very pleased with your presentation.

I released a Twenty Ten child theme called Oh One Oh Two - not because I think I'm a great graphic designer, but because I wanted to use it as an example for others who want to start making their own child themes.

You can check it out at http://0102.atlwpusers.com - There are 5 posts explaining how I created the child theme.

Thanks for clearing up these issues. I have always thought that that I thought that working with a staffing firm would always cost me too. Glad that is does not!
