Hello,
My name is Beau Eads, and I am very confident I can achieve these tasks. I am a full-time Web Developer and I have some free time on my hands, about 20+ hours a week. Ready and willing to get this done promptly, through Drupal and potentially custom PHP code, jQuery and AJAX. If you want styling work, I also do CSS. I work with front- as well as back-end technologies every day at work. Please see my portfolio for more details and my credentials.
I can tell your site is Drupal, I work with Drupal every day and know several solutions for what you want. I also have recommendations, e.g., having a private messaging scheme implemented on your site, in addition or as opposed to blogging. I have customized a messaging feature as well as many other functionalities for a Dentist website for a client, and we are in phase three of the project, BTW.
Anyway, if you already have a server available, I can get started now. Thank you for your consideration.
Beau
