6. Web Developer Needed

Hello,
I'm a recent Rice graduate involved with a new human rights and music organization. We're almost done getting our initial website up and running, but the volunteer developer we were working with dropped out at the last minute to pursue more lucrative opportunities. We already have the CSS templates done - we just need someone to help refine the website a little bit and create one more page and a blog. If you know how to program and are willing to devote a few hours to help a good cause, please contact me.
Thanks!
