Magento 1.4.1 updates, js fixes, slideshow addon, Chrome fix

Looking for an experienced Magento programmer to edit a live Magento site. Will need someone that is interested in working on a long term for updating this store and others. Hoping you can start immediately. Site can be viewed here: [login to view URL] Fixes needed: 1. Searching for the word "coffee" produces error. There has been an error processing your request. Other search terms work fine. 2. Product Description have </br> tags showing. Need those formatting tags deleted. Hoping to be able to format/bold that text. Ex: [login to view URL] 3. Remove any unnecessary tags/scripts in code. Too many js scripts loading that are not used. 4. Fix JS errors. '_gaq' is undefined, 'null' is null or not an object, etc. See home page 5. Google Chrome browser fix. Layout is broken in that browser. FireFox is good. 6. Home page. Add slideshow using code from this free theme/template: [login to view URL] Download here: [login to view URL] View [login to view URL] for more info and area affected 7. Shop By functionality is not properly displaying number of items. Suggest a fix. Would like every one of these edits documented as well. For each task a detail of which file was edited and line code. Payments setup in 3 Milestones. After each task is finished in time agreed by both parties the money is released. Magento references preferred.
