Well it seems I can code a tad… Or at least I can CSS / HTML and then by using logic figure out how various PHP snippets can be integrated with MySQL in a usable Registration and login screen for my project.
Includes all field filled checks, that email is sane, password strength check and CAPTCHA anti spambot.
Im happy 
Honestly I havent been too impressed by my first outsourcing adventure.
I feel I can do (code) the stuff myself, but I needed some of the functions handled (and still do) such as the flash / iPhone app / PayPal interation. However im confident these will be somewhat easy to integrate once im done with the site… yes, Im dumping the Outsourced code, and start from scratch myself.

I’m a little behind in designing the finale and complete website - mostly be course its actually a “big thing” I’m doing here..
Well the Chinese contracted coders (CCC) have tried to deliver a “finished” phase 1, two times now. However they seem not to be quite as sharp as I would like. No details here, but I’m most likely to have a full recode/design when the project has been alive for a few months incubation.
The site when finished will deliver digital goods, and as such can be the core for a wide range of projects.
I have used GetAFreelancer.com again, this time to get a NDA and Outsourcing contract done.
Further I have begun collecting material for other markets than the initial project. Freelancers can be used for a lot of things, and one huge thing is Copywriting - I will take a few topics and have some articles written. for this there are ar few good places like:
http://copyscape.com/ - check that your delivered material isent just a blank copy of somebody elses - this can be used for a vararity of things - like FAQ, EULA, distribution, copyright, terms, agreements - and probably in several languages.
