This post aims to accomplish two things - let you guys know what the development team has been up to this week, and to prove that there is an xkcd comic for everything.

• Add/edit a chapter! You can add, edit, and delete custom chapters - add in your favorite information you’ve learned about where you’re going, your flight information, your emergency contact information, whatever - it will all get bound and printed in your book, and be ready for your trip! http://xkcd.com/404 (D’oh!)
• Better IE6 support: http://xkcd.com/198/
• Order history bug fix: Orders made more than a few weeks ago sometimes showed up in order history as from December 31, 1969 - that’s been fixed! http://xkcd.com/376/
• Softening guide failure: If a guide fails, you’ll get a PDF that contains the error, and a picture of a cute furry animal to look at while our techs are dispatched to figure out what went wrong and fix it. http://xkcd.com/231/
• Real preview and page counts! You can now see a real preview (meaning it looks like the books) and see the approximate page count for books on the table of contents page. http://xkcd.com/294/
• Blog fixes: Our blog now has dates and links to the main page http://xkcd.com/239/

So I guess we learned that there isn’t an xkcd for everything. It’s kinda like finding out there’s no Santa Claus. Oh well! The best part of all of this? It’s so much fun putting out features, learning, and getting all of your feedback. We sure do love you guys!

We’re pushing hard to get to public beta, and we’re adding people from the waitlist every week, so if you want to get in to the private beta, sign up early!

Hello travelers!

Did you know that … instead of parking tickets, police officers in Cancun, Mexico may remove your license plate, forcing you to come to the police station to retrieve them (and pay a fine)?

Neither did we, until our intrepid travel information team started relaying these trivia facts about the destinations they were working on.

So, what has the development team been doing lately?

• There’s 10% more love in the website.
• We’ve also incorporated an address manager, so you can now save, add, delete, and edit multiple shipping and billing addresses.
• In addition, there is an order tracker where you can view your order details and download previous guides.
• International billing addresses can also be used, as we’ve enabled the use of letters and numbers as zip codes. (It’s a European thing…)
• When you type in your destination, the suggestions we provide should show up faster and be more accurate. It’s still not perfect, so if you’re looking for a city and it doesn’t appear, let us know.
• The selector for inputting your destination has been improved and should be running a faster.

This month our focus is on content and features. We’re working hard to incorporate all your excellent feedback!

See? We’ve been busy!

Happy travels!
