Looks beautiful and does mostly what i need for my business. I was looking for a contact us page, but couldn't find, so just posting a comment here. I am evaluating it and looks great uptill now. Thanks for building the first web app that i really plan to use. I have some feedback, if you have some email address for it then i would want to send it to you. Hi,

Proud to write that I've tackled the first five on this list. :) During my first, uh, eight years of modern-day pro/am coding life, most of my efforts were fumbling attempts that didn't go very far. My success rate shot WAY up when I learned three lessons: (1) ALWAYS design before coding. (2) Don't start ANY project unless and until (a) you have a really solid idea of what you want to accomplish and (b) you know you have the bandwidth for it. If (!(a && b)), then just write down your ideas in a text file and sock 'em away for another day. (3) If a project is going nowhere (i.e., if either (a) or (b) suddenly becomes false), stick it in an "Abandoned Projects" folder. This allows you to dispense with the constant nagging to finish that pain-in-the-ass project, but you can always dust it off and start working on it at a later date. - David Stein :lol: Great article.
