If you are going to ask around about Staff Photographers, be prepared to pay. The cheapest I have been quoted is $140, now I havent heard from all of them and some of them, I know I cant get to them, so there may be cheaper. But they do know what SG is looking for and they will usually edit the set for you and put it together and submit it. You just have to shoot the set with them and of course get yourself prepared for the shoot.
If you arent going to use Staff or a Photographer Hopeful, please be sure that they understand what the site is and what they are looking for on SG. I shot 3 sets with people that had no idea what SG was looking for and I regret it, because I learned, but I wasted time with people that couldnt grasp exactly what was needed. Also beware of guys with cameras if you are going to use sites like Model Mayhem to find a photographer. These guys claim to be "professional" but are not and will steal your pics and use them for their own gain.
Also, Im not sure if you know, but to reply to someone that posts in your blog, you have to go to their blog and leave it on their blog or PM them. (if you knew this, sorry, I wasnt sure; since you were replying to people in your blog)
