What's new? (Something_Changed = true)

Introducing picture comments!!! After much mental debate I've finally broke down and included picture comments. Of course with this I've also added the ability to turn them off at a moments notice. I still have more tweaking to do with them at this point but it will do for now. I also have at least one bug that needs to be corrected for the emails it creates but it can wait too.

Also in this release I've included a fix for the archive date not working correctly. I've also added logging of spam comments. I've worked pretty hard to make sure spam stays to a nominal amount but I still see attempts at it. So I've stated collecting those comments and might put them to good use.

I've also ramped up performance of the site by adding certain things into cache. So things like the tag cloud and the author list will be cached and only need to make a trip back out to the database after they expire in a defined number of minutes. I'll be doing this with other areas of the site too where ever possible.

One last thing I've added is archiving changes made to articles. This way if you write over something and save it you'll be able to go back to that previous version. Or at the very least be able to see what the settings were before you changed it. This feature still has a lot of work to go on it but will pay off in the long run.

23. There is no such thing as a dumb question, so ask it ... once. Then write down the answer so that you don't have to ask it again. If you ask the same person the same question more than twice, you're an idiot (in their eyes).
