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.

As some of you may or may not know, NeedInstructions.com has only one employee, and yes that is me, Chris Evans.  Now of course we hope in the long run NeedInstructions.com will be the next Google.  However, to get there our site needs to be up and running with no bugs!  We all hate bugs, especially me!  So to avoid the bugs we have to test.

As you know the site is pretty much completed.  We do have a couple of change requests that I am about to submit but the major part of the work that still needs to be completed is the testing.  Currently, I am going through all my test scripts to test all the functionality on the site so that everything will work smoothly when we put the site out live.  Hopefully I find nothing, but I will keep all of you updated.

Well it looks like our blog is up and running, NeedInstructions.com wants to thank Prashant Bhargava with the help in development for our blog.

So you’re probably reading this blog and thinking, what is NeedInstructions.com? Well NeedInstructions.com is a new website that is in development. It will allow users to request, post, create, and even find instructions, manuals and how to’s on just about everything out there! I know you’re probably thinking there are hundreds of how to web-sites, and I can agree. But what about a central site where someone can get the actual instructions on the stereo system that they purchased 2 years ago, or maybe a misplaced car manual that someone is looking for on their vehicle. NeedInstructions.com wants to be that site. NeedInstructions.com will allow users to upload and even re-link instructions and manuals on anything that comes with an instruction or manual. Also, it will allow users to even create their own how to instruction. Since the site will be brand new, NeedInstructions.com will also have the capability for members of the site to request for any instruction, manual, or how to that NeedInstructions.com may not have at the time. In addition to making the site even better, the site will be a user interactive site that will allow other NeedInstructions.com members to help out members that are looking for instructions, manuals, or how to’s we may not have. Currently, NeedInstructions.com is working with Dizzain.com in the development of the site. We hope to go live in the end of July so keep your fingers crossed! At this time, NeedInstructions.com is testing the site as well as adding some change requests. We hope that the new CR’s will be very useful to our users.

Now I know there are some companies that advise there co-workers not to read Dilbert comic strips but that is not true at NeedInstructions.com! You will come to find out I am a huge Dilbert fan! Here is a funny Dilbert comic strip on CR’s. I had to laugh at this!
