Re: template designer needed

David:

I did not. I did just look at the site.

I am not sure this would work. I already have a design, which the team has 
approved. I just need the templates for DJango.

template designer needed

[ApogeeGMail]

Good Morning:

I am looking for a Django template designer for a very short project. I will 
need 5 pages, the design is done( using Photoshop).

I will need a set of templates to implement the layouts. I will provide the 
graphic elements.

Please contact me off list.

Thanks.

Re: Social Networking basics? -Raj

[ApogeeGMail]

Hi All:

I am also a newbie on this list. I have been reading the list for about two 
months. I have learned a LOT following the questions and answers. I would like 
to suggest that some of the links like duckduck.go be added to the standard 
doc's page's on the right hand side. I would also like to see the 'Getting 
Help" be on each page.

I would also like to thanks all the responders to this list for all the effort 
expended to helping all the noob's.

Even though I have not posted any requests for help yet, I am sure I will in 
the future.

Everyone have a nice day...

Richard

P.S. really like Django!

 That's be pretty cool. But my guess is that the maintainers just want us
 to reply with a "you need to give us more information before we can
 help you" speech, in a non-insulting tone. Shame, takes all the fun out
 of it lol.
