Not just a bit. It's simply crap. And it's not intended to work that way.

The current UI is basically something Tomaz created in a day as a mockup.
I needed some form of UI to get started and had asked him to stop working
on the UI for a few days while I implemented the infrastructure.

We now need to define the UI flow so this can be fixed, there are parts of
this that I know and understand, and parts that I'm still a bit unclear
about.

a) there needs to be a way to create a new site in the dive site view
b) if the user types a new location in the dive view and then hits manage,
things need to be hooked up correctly and this needs to turn into a new
site
c) there needs to be a way to just look at sites and manage them as
independent entities

I'm sure I'm missing things.
