Don't discount PHP yet; the CodeIgniter community is great ( http://codeigniter.com/forums/ )

You mean like this? http://www.eastofcleveland.com/misc/hn2009sal.php Edit: I guess I'm cheating, in that it doesn't "automatically" update...but just visit that, and keep hitting …

Oh, there are already many discussion/tutorial sites about yo-yoing. I don't intend to replace them, but to offer something they don't: a single place to coherently store pictures …

"Code [is] written to be executed by a computer." Maybe. It also is to express the author's understanding, description and specification of the problem domain and problem solution …

PHP (cleverly hidden within the CodeIgniter framework). EDIT: Doh! It's too late at night, and I didn't catch what you meant in the title. My startup is bootstrapped, not YC-funded…

For making web sites/apps, CodeIgniter (PHP framework) made the server-side fun again. Same for jQuery on the front-end. Especially with CI, I feel like I can get into a good groov…
