It&#8217;s also inconsistent with the way the book reader works - which does support a full screen mode.</p>http://blog.25friends.com/post/13576953954http://blog.25friends.com/post/13576953954Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:10:06 -0800<div class="actorDescription actorName"> <div class="actorDescription actorName"> <div><span>The November sprint includes the follow:</span></div> <ol><li><strong>basic website working</strong></li> <li><strong>simple google analytics</strong></li> <li><strong>simple facebook analytics</strong></li> <li><strong>register search engines</strong></li> <li><strong>invite tab working</strong></li> <li><strong>reports tab working</strong></li> <li><strong>account tab working</strong></li> <li><strong>facebook notifications</strong></li> <li><strong>email notifications</strong></li> <li><strong>process sales</strong></li> <li><strong>filter tab working</strong></li> <li><strong>make more robust</strong></li> <li><strong>group test</strong></li> <li><strong>open up everything to public</strong></li> <li><strong>terms &amp; privacy policy</strong></li> <li><strong>like button</strong></li> <li><strong>support image upload with old browsers</strong></li> <li><strong>clean image meta data</strong></li> <li><strong>center/resize website background</strong></li> </ol><p>Only a few more days to finish these up, several are completed, but there&#8217;s still a lot of work left.</p> </div> </div>http://blog.25friends.com/post/13214094474http://blog.25friends.com/post/13214094474Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:22:19 -0800sprint<p>Cleaning up the logo and website appearances today.</p>http://blog.25friends.com/post/13069680784http://blog.25friends.com/post/13069680784Sun, 20 Nov 2011 10:27:02 -0800<p>It looks like tumblr syndication is finally working for the blog.
