Blogrimage.com Day 6,7, and 8

So the weekend has been a bit lazy concerning blogrimage. I barely touched the site on Friday or Saturday but I knew it was time to hit it hard again.

I added the following features:
* Users may now flag content as inappropriate.
* Users may bookmark blogs.
* Users may "friend" other users.
* A blogrimage will only pull posts that take place within times specified when registering the blogrimage. This will prevent unrelated posts from being pulled in.

A couple more items for the wish list:
* Need to tell the blog fetcher to not pull a blog anymore after the end date. This will make sure the performance of the site doesn't degrade as more blogrimages are posted.
* Notifications for users.

I am getting more and more anxious about the design and theme aspects. I'm not a designer. I build features and let somebody else take care of the aesthetics. I will need a lot of help to get the colors and layout to a good place. But what is a blogrimage without a challenge? My greatest challenge will be a high quality theme for the site. With this in mind I've decided to break plan out the features going forward.

Day 1-10 Features - Whatever I can get in this amount of time.
Day 11-20 Theme - Design, layout, implementation.
Day 21-30 Testing - Fixing any bugs on the system, setting up systems to manage the site when as many as 1000 people register the site and are utilizing it's resources. Any other features I have time to implement before the challenge is over.
