We're halfway to fantastic guide creators and editors!
Most of the guide code hit the live site tonight.

You can now create guides from /Guide/New/, though the buttons aren't wired up yet.

You can also edit your guides by pulling them up from your profile, then hitting "edit"

The form works and saves without problem, but ...

Fixing or changing bugdar colors
On an indirect SixLinks note, here's a tip for anyone who needs to change the colors in Bugdar 1.2.

As some people may know, the SixLinks bug-tracker is powerered by bugdar. It's a great little tracker, though some of the coding choices are pretty baffling.

Powered by cookies and coffee
So I got a christmas package from my parents a few days ago, and since then, have been living essentially on cookies and coffee.

In other news, we now have titles on every page (or at ...

Just taking a moment to appreciate the scale
Jeff has created over 120 pages, with 200+ citations. That's a phenomenal amount of content.

I've written 6900+ lines of code. Put into book-style pages, that'd be about a 230 page manuscript.

We've been working our asses off, but with a quick look back over the ...

Profiles, feeds, and signing up! It's starting to feel like we're getting there.
Tonight's set of changes are mostly that you can now:

a) edit your profile (minus the avatar) (for which a default was added and now works)

Now, mind you I haven't actually ...

Hold onto your hoodies, folks.
EDIT: orrrr, don't hold on to them. Figured out a way around that mess that seems to work.


Just realized that ANOTHER code refactoring needs to hit the back end.

Little tweaks go a long way..
Favorites have been improved.

You can now fav individual blog pages, someone's blog, and fixes, and have them show up on your updates page. Additionally, comments generate update items under some very specific (hopefully non-annoying) conditions:

- If there's a new comment on one of your blogs, and the ...

More changes rolling in..
We've now got good backups, which should make everyone feel better.

We also now have some nice add-as-friend buttons on friendable pages, and allow people to favorite blogs and fixes without friending a person. (You know, for when you want to follow Al Gore's blog, but are too ...
