small problem
Not anything to drastic, but when you go into the projects section of the website, it says "LovIt's", a misused apostrophe. I don't know if that is how you do it in America, but in Britain we don't use apostrophes for plurals.

Re: small problem
We (meaning people who ever paid any attention whatsoever in school, even for a minute, at any time between second grade and college) don't use apostrophes to form the plural in America, either. When in doubt, consult Bob's Quick Guide.

Re: small problem
On a side note, this may be the first time I've ever seen the word "drastic" used as a verb.

He used it as an adjective, he just used the wrong form of "too." 
I'm not entirely sure why they punctuated it like that. I think it has something to do with how it would be a different word if they spelled it "its" - sort of how apostrophes are placed between year names and the "s". (As in the 1990's.)
