I am alive
Ok guys, not fair, I know. I have been out sick for the last 5 days. I am back to life, and I will be finishing up everything else in the coming week. It is nearly done! I hope everyone enjoys it once it is complete.

Profiles, Friends, Ads and Pictures
So I haven't been posting the last few days, because I have been in bed... sick... with grossness in my tummy. I have, though, put a few hours of work in, and added Profiles, Be/De-friending and anonymous profile pictures.
When that person isn't your friend, they are unable to see your full profile, and your profile picture is blurred.
Another feature I have added is a little bit smalled of one, but It allows you to pay at the beginning of the year (or June or July) and for 1 year you have no advertisements. Keeping the site free means you don't have to pay it, but if they inconvenience you, the price is only $5.00 a year!
I'm back to bed though, hopefully I feel better in the coming days.

2 Day Break
Hey guys, sorry for not alerting you ahead of time. I took a two day break to spend some time with my little lady. She was getting depressed that we hadn't been spending as much time together as we were prior to me starting the development on this site.
I will be returning to active development today, and over the weekend I have plans for both Browse and Profiles to be completed.
Progress: The Same

Green means "GO"; Red means "Oh Hell NO"
In my previous post, I wrote about my ideas on the Friends section on your profile editor. I seem to have come upon a decent out come. I didn't have the time, or the processing power to do the 3 color boxes, so I did 2, red and green.
Green is used when the other user has the exact same sexually transmitted diseases as you.
Red is obviously bad, it means that either you have a chance of infecting them or they do you.
I think this will make it easier when browsing and searching through your friends, to keep up to date on their current status as it pertains to you. If you are sexually active with one of them, and one day their status turns to red, you know you might have a problem.

Removing the Norm
Still toiling away into the wee hours of the night, and I am stuck. I can't seem to get my profile page to NOT look like every other dating/social site's profile page.
This is the part of the game where I need to add something different, or be forced to fail with YADS (yet another dating site). I'm contemplating two routes. One will have a very myspace feel where it is semi cluttered, but you have everything there (friends, messages, alerts, etc). The other would be more in line with what is included in the attached screen shot.
I'm leaning toward 2, and in the friends, I can have the background of their profile picture be green if they are a perfect match, red if you could infect them and yellow if they could infect you. As that would be the natural scale of severity, put others' health before your own.
Well back to toiling...
