It's that time again where one sits back and reviews what one has done... specifically, I mean this very site.
Right now, things seem to be a bit more 'mature' on the front-end and back-end already... at least, those things that I don't lose any sleep to ignore :D
Although I recognize that a lot of things are going right ... just mention here some of the quirks - so that they don't jump out and surprise you.
1) The domain name itself / subdomain / URL http://virtualestate.org/ultrabeast .
Actually, I intended it to be as http://ultrabeast.virtualestate.org
for ease of typing and memory,
and subsequently any URL to be relative to that e.g. http://ultrabeast.virtualestate.org/Blog/General/The-First-Post.html
instead of http://virtualestate.org/ultrabeast/index.php/Blog/General/The-First-Post.html .
However, due to some issue with the subdomain/redirection/Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs, couldn't figure that out yet. So keeping to the current URL format.
2)
(Probably a big issue for a commercial site) : This website breaks crap in IE.
That is, it can't be loaded by IE.
And since I don't know the root cause of it, I don't know how to solve it ..
Anyway, I don't use IE so I don't even know what other sites can't be loaded by IE ...
Due to a contempt for IE in the first place... which this very quirk does not do anything to lessen that opinion.
So, as I have mentioned somewhere else before,
Currently, this site totally breaks IE (I'd be rich if Microsoft was
offering $ for writing something that can bring down their 16-ton giant
browser) Strictly, use MOZILLA FIREFOX.
A clue I have would be IE blocks by default some scripts which are integral to the rendering of this page. What exactly, I don't know. And I could be wrong about that, too...

The root cause of the problem has been found !
It's confirmed - my site really does break IE! Woohoo! Eat your heart our, Mr. William Harold Gates III !
That very cool rsGallery2component - automatic photo slideshows- can't be loaded in IE (IE7 and IE6 both!) and causes IE to jam with "Operation Aborted" error message !
Guess IE doesn't support the AJAX scripts needed by the slideshow... and this is IE7, mind you.. the latest incarnation of IE...
Actually, on a regular day, I would just 'screw IE' and don't care about this... but I need to get my domain ready for review by prospective employers.
As such, the post 'Junior, the Ventriloquism Puppet' with the photo slideshow has been marked under 'Registered' privilege. That is, you need to login to even know the existence of such a post, and yes, login and use MOZILLA FIREFOX.
Grrr...
So currently, it's IE compliant, so that no visitor shalt be turneth away and same too for the full extent of the lucrative advertising revenue.
Coding 
) since you can view it if you use Firefox but not IE.
Very happy with it.
