fixing several very small issues

I have a limited knowledge of php and very little time lately. I also have several small issues that need to be fixed on my site. 1. I can't get the total number of projects or jobs opened in each category to display. I have zero's for each category instead of "3" or "6" or how ever many projects are in that specific category. 2. I have a single column of categories on two different pages that both need to be displayed or broken down into 3 or 4 columns instead of one long list. 3. I have a transaction log that keeps track of all transactions, and when a member upgrades from his/her account balance, the transaction stay "pending" although the transaction is actually completed and the + or - signs do not show correctly either. I know these are all very small issues and I know can be fixed quite easily, I just do not have the proper knowledge or time to get the issues fixed and would like to work with someone on the cheap. Thanks!
