#ProjectPurpleRibbon Progress - Mar52012

Today is the day that I set for a tentative launch of the Project Purple Ribbon Website. I had a pared down version of the site done and ready to go.

#ProjectPurpleRibbon Progress - Feb72012

i thought the privacy policy and terms of service was going to be the most difficult pages on the website. I have to pull it back sometimes and remember not to put the cart before the horse… This project is beginning to take on a life of its own. I’m excited to see it develop and even more excited by the anticipation of sharing it with others.
