I am new to Diaspora* and I am on the Diasp.org pod. I have noticed several errors in proper capitalization that makes it look unprofessional, and for those with OCD majorly unappealing. The following on the profile page need to be capitalized:

Bio
Location
Gender
Birthday
You Have No Tags, Add Some
Edit My Profile
Edit next to tags
Tags should be capitalized when you add them
And a few more things

On the home page the following need to be capitalized:

recently: commented on · posted
People In Your Stream
View All Contacts
View Pod Stats
By Email
Deselect All
Add An Aspect
Learn More
And a lot of things in the Need Help Section.

This is a ton to fix but also very easy. The email from support said that I could post a bug report or fix them but since I am new I am not sure how to edit the coding (I have worked with HTML/CSS coding before so if it is through that I could have it all fixed in no time). Theres just so many silly capitalization mistakes that, if fixed, would make the entire site look more professional and appealing. If I could even get pointed to wear I could fix it that would be great :)

As far as organization the sections seem thrown on randomly. A more appealing order would be:

Gender:
Birthday: Month Day, Year
Bio:
Location:

This makes more sense because you can automatically tell if it is a male or female and how old they are before even reading their bio, and for some this information can dictate whether they want to try and talk to someone. Location is the least important because many people don't feel comfortable with giving out an exact location so its fitting to be at the bottom.
