Be VERY picky about your intern's proclaimed abilities and make sure you thoroughly lay out all the terms of the engagement. As a software engineer, I can tell you that cheap and/or free projects, while having the benefit of being cheap and/or free, often produce predictably bad results for the client. If you do proceed with the project, be sure to charge yourself something each time you ask your intern for a feature. That way you don't inadvertently fall into the trap of abusing your free help. Trust me, it happens frequently in these situations. For what it's worth... Don’t forget - in software development, as in most things, you get what you pay for and you pay for what you get.

As far as I can tell you just want the same layout/presentation without having to use blogger or wordpress, right? I’d be able to help you Julia, but I’d just need to know what you need.

I just wanted to make a recommendation - if you have trouble finding someone you should try an art/graphic design school. You can post it in internship listings. It's a great way to get some free work and since grades are depending on it - the students tend to be pretty reliable. Just a thought. I know that we have had graphic design interns from MCAD (Minneapolis College of Art and Design) and it has been pretty successful.

Seems like you just need a more user friendly wordpress theme. Or did you want groovy flash animations where you have to click on your ass to enter and it makes a fart sound?
