Hi, I am Joseph (Joe, Joe D., Joseph or Joey),
    I am the owner & developer of Bakersfield Web Site Hosting.com, and Here In Bakersfield.com which are two Internet based companies located here in Bakersfield, which brings me to discuss Here In Bakersfield the web site.
     Here In Bakersfield is going to be an Internet directory of Bakersfield businesses, bands, artists, & other merchants with articles about everything here in Bakersfield such as clubs, music, happenings, hang-outs, sports, restaurants, shopping, business, art, music, reviews and more. I had tried to have it done back in August of 2006 but many issues kept that from happening.

Issues including disability, finances because of disability, family, and stress has have been the major factors causing the publishing time-line to be delayed over & over. Fortunately for me and the business Here In Bakersfield, I have not accepted any sponsors, advertisers, early sign-ups (with promised deadlines), or financing. These goals are ready to be started, plans are laid out for execution and the marketing is designed with  Internet based concepts along with good old-fashioned marketing tactics.

It is my goal in the next few months to finalize my business plan (again),  get a bunch of freelance artists of all kinds shapes, sizes, colors, ethnicity, financial status, "good", bad, sloppy, dead, and futuristic to help me with the logo concept & design, some other graphics suitable for Flash and TV (possibly), decals, billboards, signs, & website graphics.  Somehow, someway there will be compensation for their time, effort & skill.

I am going to set-up a new form for artists, working bands, & musicians to sign up on for verification and listing. The form should be set-up this week. The website has some features like Bakotopia, MySpace, Craig's List, the yellow pages (Not any particular one), Deviant Art, Bakersfield Online, and some other sites rolled up, shaken, not stirred, and served with some punk. I have relied on thoughtfully planned design, room for revisions, quality art, and marketing underlying & intertwining the basis of the site, and presenting & utilizing life experiences throughout the entire website and all of its processes.
It will also be well suited for any stuffy businessman. I cannot say too much about the design because I am keeping it offline until ready for deployment.

The site has been deep-scanned by an un-named competitor. That is the Internet way for many (copying & researching others. Keeping it offline until completed has major advantages.

I desperately seek an intern, or a part-time (or time when available...) secretary or Gal/Guy Friday that will work for glory (possible limited partner), barter for website hosting, or just do it to be involved in something intense and promising. Additionally, somehow, someway there will be compensation for anyone's time, effort & skill whether it is by barter, by means of a contract for profit from ad-sales, or other binding means.

I can provide any information you need.I have many sketches to work from. I hope that many of you will want to work collaboratively, online, & by way of the virtual workspace. I also hope no one objects to the project being documented as we design parts of it, in blogs and by video. It will be blogged, tagged, and recorded. Documentation & recording is a requirement.
