I am familiar with Javascipt (after reading this book I hope to have more than an a familiarity). I have some SEO experience (although I don’t care to ever capitalize on those skills again). I can create a blog on the Textpattern (ick) and Movable Type (double ick) platform (Coming Soon to this list: Simplelog). I have a little experience designing for print (business cards and letterhead?). I have a little experience in branding. I have a little experience developing in Ruby on Rails.
