Feed a Village

We want to feed a village but we will need your help to make it happen. How can we feed a village, by using TikiWade of course. During the month of July, for every new account that gets created and posts a new listing (entirely for free I might add), we will donate $1.00 toward Feed My Starving Children. We will also be having a TikiWade day at their facility in Eagan MN where you can join us to put together meals.

Please help to raise money for this by spreading the word about it. There is also a PDF that you can download and print out and post in any public areas where you can call attention to it.


Thanks.
Wade

I Want...

If you want it, just ask... I added the Wanted category under items as a result of a request of a new user. Please don't hesitate to ask if want a category added, chances are someone else would also like that category too.

I also added the category under each listings title in the search results. I think that this just adds a nice touch by giving an "at a glance" to the category in case the description is not enough.

Bug Fixes, I fixed a problem where searches for some of the listings were not using the radius. As a result we decided to set the default radius to all so that you can see everything by default, and narrow down from there. I also fixed an annoying rendering problem in IE where the map was getting wrapped if the browser width was less than 1000 pixels wide.

Security... Like a warm blanket

I have made the security word much easier to read. YAY!! I also fixed a problem with listing job listings, so they should work now, and I added code so that if a listing does not have an image it will provide the "no image" image in the images place. Try saying that 5 times real fast.

I just want to again thank everyone who is using the site. It is exciting to see it grow and be accepted by so many people. Please keep letting me know about your experiences, good and bad, and feel free to leave comments on this blog as well. Together we can change what seems unchangeable.

More to come

I love all the feedback that you are giving as you use the site and uncover stuff, hopefully some hidden treasures too;-) I just updated the site with some minor things. I changed the tagline, hope you enjoy it for a while. I also fixed a bug where it would report an error in the Core if a zip code was used for searching that TikiWade did not know about. If you get this error, please try another zip code that is near yours as we work to get all zip codes into our database. There was also a problem where the error was not being cleared properly so it would continually be in the search results when searching... I fixed that as well.

There are a number of people who find the security word hard to read, I agree, I'll get working on this ASAP.

Thanks again for using TikiWade, we really appreciate it and look forward to watching this grow.
