Really, really, need to hire a graphic designer who can do custom wordpress themes... Does anyone know one?

Try to offer a salary to the graphic designer. Unless you have deep connections, it's highly impossible to lure your own graphic designer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
