I put a lot of work into this last session in order to fully flesh out the design and bugs of the site. There were a great deal of icons that needed to be completed and put together for the site, including the new rating, flagging and favorite systems on the site. I also had [...]

I plan on writing more content [...]

I spent a huge amount of time working on the site this week - won’t go in to specifics with times, but I spent a full 40 hours banging on the thing over the whole week.
A lot of the time was spent applying a good deal of Ajax-based interactive features. You can see this reflected [...]

This week I took care of creating the Inbox for messages, adding items to the “Home” page - the landing page when you’re logged in - and pages dealing with the friends that you’ve added.
The inbox took a while to figure out, but it’s working nicely now. We wanted to have a way to indicate [...]

This week, I just did a little exploring on the site on and off each day, adding and contributing a story or two. So far the only story that I can tell that has gotten anywhere is the poem that leigh put up. I found a couple of errors that I just noticed [...]
