Just read this post about why programmers don’t like to code and I feel the same way.  I get amped anytime I solve something with my own code.  But more often than not, I prefer searching for pre-existing solutions and simply plugging that sucker in.  I’m not coding for the sake of coding.  I’m trying to do something that requires code…a means to an end blah blah blah.

Anyway, here are few updates:

• added an error message for when a login goes wrong (yeah didn’t have one yet)
• users can now login with either a username or their email address
• added validation to the registration form; currently working on a username and email check
• did some SEO work, adding/modifying meta tags and fixing and reloading my xml sitemap
• in the suggest question page, you can now track your suggested questions; will eventually add your friends’ suggested questions as well
• the follow/remove functionality in profile pages are now working as they should; had been having problems with those but problem solved
• replaced the Digg/Buzz links with the addthis button – that’s a great little widget

A couple of biggies.  qrisper eats is now complete.  The site is identical to qrisper except all questions are from the eats categories.  I plan to do the same for other categories as their question pool gets bigger.  Also, I definitely think I have some SEO juice going on because qrisper’s already getting hits through Google searches, with qrisper showing up in the first or second search results pages.  Pretty surprising…

Anyway, there’s a ton of things I still want to do…just have to chip away at it I guess.  I’m also looking into Elance.com and Collabfinder.com.  Gonna need some help sooner or later.
