I’m gonna keep posting the standings here in my blog until the official end of the MARCH CHALLENGE. It’s cool, though, because now I can just take a snapshot of the standings screen at the new website! Also, you might notice that the table is sorted with the highest score at the top. (Wooohoo Delita for scoring a RED star!!)
In case you’re confused by this, the website I’m referring to is www.w8challenge.com which you can read about in my blog entry yesterday.
So far the site seems to be working okay but the downloading and uploading of the actual stars is confusing. What I’ve decided to do is to hire someone to do the PHP programming that I can’t figure out how to do. WHAT I WANT is for the stars to just AUTOMATICALLY appear on the list, based upon the total daily stars reported from each participant! WHAT I WANT is for the personal daily stars charts to actually show TOTALS at the bottom!!! (Ya’d think I could figure that one out, but honestly, I am stumped!!!). WHAT I WANT is for the entire site to be totally automatic and simple and easy to use!!!!
So yeah, I’m gonna hire someone, but not today. I would like to pull together a comprehensive list of what I want, before I start looking for someone to do it all.
In the meantime, I am SO excited that a couple people already signed up for the April Challenge!! And I couldn’t be happier with who those couple people are: shallweshrink and sterling!!! YAY!!! If anyone from the March Challenge wants to continue in April, let me know, and then on April 1st I can switch those people over to the April group.
Please let me know what you like or don’t like about the site - I really wanna tweak it and make it a nice place to visit!!! =D
Also, let me officially say THANK YOU to everyone, you’ve all been so wonderful and supportive while I’ve been stressing over my mom’s health!!!

Eileen,
I’m definitely in for the April challenge. I’m so impressed that you know how to do all of this. I am definitely lacking your skills.
Through the end of March should we keep telling you what we have earned or log it on the site? I haven’t had much time to play around on your new website but I promise that I will get good at it quickly
For now, please add 3 1/2 stars for me for the last few days, 1 for food and 2 1/2 for exercise.
brseay - YAY! I’m so glad you’re gonna do it again!!
As for my skills, I’m just winging it! Ha!
You can log your stars on the site (some already are) but it’s no problem, I’ll go ahead and add your stars for ya. =D Starting April 1 though, I won’t be posting the standings on my blog anymore.
Thanks for posting my stars, Eileen! I definitely want to sign up for April. This is really helping me in my life at this time of transitions. Thank you! Delita
I checked out the site. I am also lacking your skills, lol. You have mad skills
I havent looked deep into the site yet, but I am also going to do the april challenge. thanks for updating my stars too. for today (thursday 26th) I get 3 stars. for food and two hrs at the gym! I actually did two spin classes. woohoo. 
I thought the password you gave me was cute.
I like how we can change our goals. I like how it has the daily totals on our personal page. LOVE the chatter box.
The only thing I didn’t like was the inital trouble of getting the stars to show up. (Save New worked but Save Changes didn’t. Maybe that’s for the first time? I hope I didn’t mess anything up by clicking save new)
Also it seemed complicated to go directly to my personal page from the home page so I bookmarked the personal page so that I go there first.
You did great. I couldn’t have come up with this stuff. Thanks for a fun place to hang out.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work in this.
The chickies talked me into joining the April group. SO yes I changed my mind yet again. Please DO sign me up for April. Thanks
I cannot get my stars to post on the site. I have 7 stars coming to me for the past many days. I dont know what to do. I am such a computer flunkie!!! sorry
Joy
