Cheap, talented, or available -- pick any two!

That said, do you really need a personalized design done for your homepage or blog? Those are probably fairly low commercial priorities -- just grab an off-the-rack Wordpress theme, OSS template, or what have you, and call it a day. (Pro-tip: a clean template with neutral colors plus a custom logo -- or even one of the off-the-rack logos -- can make any website look like it cost $10k for less than the price of your favorite gadget... often, substantially less.)

I have also had amazing work done by folks who I learned about on HN. I guarantee you, if you put a dollar value on your desires, you'll wake up with a full inbox tomorrow.

I'll pick talented and available.

For the personal homepage, I really like what Rafa did at http://rafaelcorrales.com/

You are right, I don't need much. Just someone to help me clean up a Tumblr/Posterous theme and integrate my different online presences plus Disqus.

What do you think is a fair dollar value I should put to these things above?
