Took the plunge to put my startup ideas to the test.
Making into something huge!

That is not my bracket...
I know I've still got to get to describing ideas 3-8, but I've been really busy trying to fit in time to finish the web development for idea #6. Idea #6 is like the Apartment Site as it's a content driven information site. Advertising sales is the revenue model. As I haven't had a lot of luck in getting ad sales for the Apartment Site, I do have some concerns. Idea #6 was supposed to be simple to implement and quick to get started. Therefore I thought it was worth taking a gamble on. Well I've been spending my free time trying to get the site developed, and as it turns out, it's become much more of a beast. It's still not as complicated as what's going on behind the scenes on the Apartment Site, but it's not something I can churn out in a couple weekends. I started this site by putting together a few screen mock-ups to help me flesh out the idea. Then I went to work on putting together a text only version of the site that's fully functional (which I'm still doing). Once the site is fully functional I'll begin the design work and clean up the site. Once this is all done all of the technical work should be complete. Then it will be time to populate the information, sell advertising and market the site. I'll post the details on the site once it's fully functional, and I'll even post the address to solicit some feedback from all three of you readers out there.

As a side note, I'm having a helluva time avoiding some stupid mistakes in my PHP code. Forgetting a semi-colon at the line ends can be tough to find, but I swear my computer is adding extra brackets into my code just to piss me off.
