Busy with 99interns

Although I'm trying to focus on growing traffic for Oddswop I am distracted at the moment in getting 99interns.com up and running.

The site is been an interesting experience setting it up on on tools such as Wordpress and using some great themes and other plugins cobbled together.  I think we chose wisely in getting a Wordpress friendly host in SiteGround.  They have this great staging tool which we may have to upgrade to so we can avoid this:

The sentiment and image was the inspiration for this blog.  Because I have too much blogging to do and too many things I'm juggling.  I really need to pare down to the bare basics.  

I need to do guest blogs, my own blog, Oddswop blog, 99interns blog and we're about to embark on a house build (personally) which again should be recorded.  

Anyway I digress.  I was using this blog post to mention that I've been semi-coding!  Well coding to the limit of my capabilities... in other words adjusting existing code and pasting existing snippets to get what I want done.  I feel like I've done a mini hackathon in a few days to get the site up and running to the extent it is.  We'll be releasing it sometime in the next 5 - 7 days depending on if I can get a staging/dev site up and running as well as we'll push the current dev site into live.  I'll cave in and just pay the extra $10 per month for this feature.  Seems like a cheap price :)
