Blog tweaks needed

Hello,

I have a website that is fairly new that is need of tweaks that either I just don't want to be bothered with or don't know how to do.

Examples of what I am looking to be done:
- Finding and inserting graphics/images for posts
- Getting video to play with Amazon S3 and flowplayer or other free flashplayer
- Call to action box at the end of each post
- separating "recent posts" list (kinda merged together)
- Copy & save files at one Hosting acct. > move one set of files (blog) over to my preferred Hosting acct. > so I can close acct.

I'm including the link to my blog so you can better understand the tasks at hand.

Andrea - My name is Carolyn (I'm a new member on Lynn's Group) and I'm curious to see if I can help.

Here are my questions -
1. graphics - you're asking for one (1) graphic to be added to each existing post?
2. graphics - do you have a subject for the graphic (e.g. pencil on paper etc) and would you be able to provide a list? Not the pictures just a description of the type of graphic.
3. video - assuming your videos are flv - do you already have them uploaded on the Amazon s3 so you'd be providing the url for each video?
4. Call to action box - do you have the code for your call to action so its a matter of placing it?
5. Recent posts - are you wanting more space BETWEEN the end of top post and the next post or are you wanting more of a graphic like a bullet point to signify the beginning of the post e.g. • Title of Post
6. Transfer the files to a new hosting account - do you have log in or FTP for both hosting companies? Do you know where your domain name is registered if not at one of these companies? E.g. Godaddy domain registration and Hostgator hosting - we'd change the nameservers on the Godaddy account -

Hi Carolyn and welcome aboard! I myself am fairly new, maybe a month now and loving everything about it.

To answer your questions:
1. Yes, basically I'm looking for images to be added to posts I make to break up the content and liven up the post.
2. No subject and/or list and no description. But I guess I could do that if need be. What I've done in the past is make the post and the image was found and uploaded for me. I'm not that particular as long as it fits the subject content and the image is acquired ethically. The person who found the others went to s free stock photo site.
3. I have one video I tried to upload but couldn't get it for the life of me so just went with you tube. I have another I wanted to put on my squeeze and if I can get it going, use video more often (easier than writing). I was given code for flowplayer but for some reason it doesn't display and was told it could be the theme.
4. No code, saw the idea on someone else's blog.
5. I'm referring to spacing the recent posts listed on the side bar.
6. I can get all that info. just have to look it up.

Hope this clarifies things. Feel free to email me.

Thanks,
Andrea

Andrea - I'm pretty new to the forum and I have heard there's an area where I can find individual email addresses - rather than spend more time trying to find it - would you email me? carolyn [at] cdmaker dot com.
Thanks!
