Today I have been busy tidying up our development site. Over time we have changed so much that there is a lot of code that we no longer use, removing it will make it easier to find the code we want to work on in the future! Looking through the files I dont usually touch I did find one or two little bits that may have caused problems - So I fixed those as well!
Its nearly Easter - with Easter sunday kicking off on the 8th of April, dont forget the bank holidays are upon us on the 6th of April and 9th of April - so we will be unable to post your cards on those 2 days, that means you have until 2pm Thursday to get your orders in for Easter Sunday.

So another week without Sam has rolled round - and the monday morning tasks take twice as long! But I have still had some time to work on the site. I tidied the Order History page up further (it shouldnt make a visual change - but the code is much more efficient), and fixed a potential problem with reordering cards. (If you attempted it before you may have ended up paying too much).
Easter is this weekend - and its a bank holiday on Friday - So be sure to have ordered your easter cards by Thursday!

So a glorious week of sunshine draws to a close and we can all look forward to the weekend. Dont forget that Easter Sunday is now only 9 days away!
I have been fixing the order history page today, the pages should make a lot more sense now and if you click to see a preview of a card it no longer moves your browser to the top of the page! We are still slaving away on the mobile app as well, looking very much forward to that being complete. Lots more updates to roll out over the coming weeks so check back often!

Another lovely sunny day across the midlands and easter is only round the corner (yet it feels more like summer!). I received my first Easter card last night and it prompted me to start spreading the easter joy and spirit. Those who have given something up for lent can start licking their lips and preparing for their first bite of chocolate or maybe their first sit of wine. Whatever you gave up it is worth a celebration! (that is what easter is all about).

Spring time has arrived and the sun is out without a cloud in the sky - yet im still here working hard to make the site better! (im more of a snow sports person anyway). I have made some pages ready for new advertising campaigns as well as sort out a few little bugs today. You can now use the filters to narrow down your address book - no matter which page you access it from. It is also much easier to Edit an address if the address has no name - infact any basket items missing names will automatically be filled in if the address book is updated! I am always looking for ideas in ways I can improve the site, as well as working hard adding new features - Why not add us on facebook and tell us any features that you would like adding to the site?

Sam is taking a well earned break and leaving me to handle things for a couple of weeks. Today I have been making a few visual tweaks on our development server - as well as shutting down loopholes that could have caused error messages. I have also again lent my services to the app building, its not far off done now and should be into testing very soon.
In my testing I keep noticing the excellant work of our designers - every time i view the easter cards a few more designs have appeared - and its making me crave the Baratti & Milano Chocolates even more!
