Good day, I have created craigslist posters, searchers and watchers many time. I am current in their page structure and even some little known query string "tricks". Accept my bid with confidence as I have plenty of experince and a good rating. I am a Microsoft Certified Application Developer (reference available upon request), and not new to freelance work. I will provide a solution that meets your requirements within the project time lines. I am available to start immediately, and you can expect consistent communication from me. Kindest Regards' Brian
