But they let apps upload photos, why not just let the web browser only upload photos from the photo/camera section? It seems crazy that they can't just allow photo upload. I am surprised that (many) others are not frustrated as well. It forces me to write an app just to allow the user to upload photos.

thanks for the suggestions. Your site has a clean design. Looks like a cool idea for tracking tech skills - I will take a closer look. Thanks!

These are great suggestions, thanks for taking the time to make them. I agree with the header menu suggestions. I have been thinking about replacing the huge logo with a search box so I agree getting rid of it would be a good idea. I will be spending some going through your list as we continue to refine the landing pages and menus. Thanks so much for the detailed suggestions, they are extremely helpful!

Hey, I just replied to what the poster submitted. Sure rails is a platform and ruby is the languge. My arguement still holds, PHP has far more support and ruby is a better language. Same goes for platforms, PHP has far more options and ruby has few. IMO PHP wins because it has more resources. But as a languge i like ruby better. As for jobs, I didn't say there were none for rails/ruby, just that there are far more for php.

RoR is clearly a better language than php from a prgramming standpoint. BUT PHP is perhaps the best supported language on the web. By support I mean platform choices, documentation, discussion, number of programmers, libraries and plugins and stability.

Even though it's the ugly child, you won't go wrong with PHP. It scales, look at facebook. It's where the jobs are.

I hope one day ruby overtakes it, but until then I would vote for PHP.
