Hi,
My name is Christos , i am from Greece and i am web developer - designer. I have over 5 years experience on websites, CMS and blogs. I read your description and i believe to satisfy your requirements and achieve an elegant work. If you like , you need not to spend too much money for servers, although exist professional and free blog platforms to build your blog , the unique thing you have to do, an installation of your domain and you are set.. Glad to work with you.
Regards
