I think the summary of things I did in a year rocks. Or it would rock if it was accurate. I think when people cheer a goal on 43 Things, it resets the date that it was completed which screws up the summary on 43 Places. See image for an example.

automatically mark parent places as "visited" when I visit a child place
Actually some things move. For instance, I’ve been to a Cincinnati Reds game in Cincinnati (a place at 43P), but I’ve not been to Great American Ballpark where the Reds currently play. The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices has also moved (well, several years ago), so it is entirely possible to have been there but not to its current St. Paul location.
But that’s my opinion.

Should include tags in the listings for get_places_entries and for pictures too.

fix its submit a comment bug
When I preview my comment, the word “Notes:” in bold is dropped in. If I make additional edits and do another preview or save the comment, I notice that the word “Notes:” in bold is again added. So my comment ends up being published as “Notes:Notes: [my comment].”

My name is Charles Dowd, I run an independent travel marketplace called Travelonomy.com. We promote more than 7,500 hotels, hostels and apartments from our marketplace though our affiliate network. Our affiliates earn a 5% commission for every product booked. We provide a branded set of pages depending on the requirements of the affiliate.
Our newly launched Contextual Travel Widget created with Social Networking and Blog websites in mind. Our solution is simple and effective: it works like AdSense, the widget automatically provides contextual accommodation products for sale based on the content of your web pages, including your dynamically created pages. Because they are contextual, the chances of someone finding something relevant for them is much higher than other travel affiliate programs. In fact, we have 9%+ conversion rates on our affiliate network, well above the industry averages.
