Well after facing many development issues, our team has come to find out that many of our issues where due to our VPS provider. After giving our old VPS provider many tries to prove there VPS services can be the best, we have decided to cancel our services and move on to a new VPS provider. So far things are going great, and our developers have already confirmed that our code should be uploaded and ready by this week for our 1 month beta!
Well it’s been about a month and many of the new CR’s have been implemented, as well as some of the errors have been fixed to the test site. I still was able to find a couple new errors to the test site and hope to get that fix by next week. In addition I did also submit a couple new CR’s to be evaluated for the site. These CR’s hopefully should be the last new CR’s to be evaluated and implemented to the site, so that we can start migrating the code to our production server and then start our 1 month beta site. Once we have cleared 1 month period I will the start mass marketing of the site and the promotional give away items that I will be giving away to users using the site? I figured this would be a good of marketing as well as providing promotional give a ways for users that post instructions to the site. But before starting with the promotional give a ways and marketing, my main focus is to make sure the test site is fixed and working smoothly so that the site can move forward to the production server. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed!
Well I have completed testing some of the new change requests, CR’s, that I have submitted to be implemented. I found a couple of errors, as well as one missing CR that was not implemented in this go around. It looks like the developers at Dizzain.com will have to look into these issues, and get it fixed as soon as possible. In addition, I will be submitting some new CR’s to the development team. The new CR’s that I will be submitting are more of a backend reporting functionality for myself to view user’s postings and activity. I think that this would help me reduce the time I would have to write the SQL and to run the SQL to view such things as top user postings and etc.
Recently a couple of my friends and family have looked at the NeedInstructions.com Blog and have asked me if they can view a test site of NeedInstructions.com. I would love to post the link to the test site however I’m trying to keep it a surprise. So to make everyone happy, below you will see a screen shot of the home page. I hope that everyone likes it. I cannot wait to go live so that you all can sign up to the site.
