Site Status
Storms kept me from posting the remainder of the news I had last night, repeatedly cycling my cable modem with short power outages. As a general update on the site progress, I've killed most bugs and moved forward on several small pieces of functionality, such as database-driven site quotes (at the top of the page), advertising placement, and the pic of the week functionality. I've also laid the groundwork to move ahead with message posting in the forums.
