Updated Basic report and new directory for law students

All,

Just posted up a new Basic Report. The basic marketing report will now display all entries, summary of items by category, and totals.

It's still all text and the only option is to have the report generate a PDF in a new window. The other types supported will be RTF, TEXT, and HTML. A friend, Big Dan, suggested excel, so maybe we'll add that as well.

In addition to the report setup options, we will be adding the import function soon. It will allow the user to upload a file with multiple marketing entries and they will be loaded into the tool. We haven't decided on the file format or the maximum number yet. But size shouldn't be limited too bad. Remember, the tool will 'page' results using next/prev when you hit over 10 items. And yes, at some point registered users will be able to save some number of entries in the database.

In addition to adding the extended report(added summary tables today), we've added the initial links for what will be the Law Student directory.

I've been asked about the expected release of the profiles. I think we should have time to add an initial profile some time in the next week or so.

Well, that's it for today. Next to be release will most likely be a new article on tips for the Law Student and more directory links. I hope to get the profile up soon so that we can start getting those profiles up!

Finally, an update on site traffic. We increased unique traffic over 300% last month and it looks like we should hit about 200% this month. Of course, it's easy when you start from a very low number! Anyway, help support the site and add a link to LOP from your own site. This will increase the traffic and visability of your profile.
