First of all, I'd like to give a big thanks to the person who donated paid time to the community. I've applied the style to the community and that actually lead me to find (and fix) a small bug. So thanks again! :)

I made some changes to the code today, and they're listed here, but I thought I'd expand on the bigger changes. The first change is that you can now add a 'sticky' entry at the top of your recent entries page. It'll look just like another entry, and if you have userpics enabled, it'll show your default userpic. You can specify the title and contents of the sticky entry via the customization wizard. The time of this entry is the current time.

Which brings me to the second change. You can now specify a time zone, so that you can view comments in your own time zone. Currently comments are shown in GMT (or UTC, I think they call it now). There are four options you can change in the customization wizard. For example, I'm in the Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) right now, so for me, I changed the Time Zone Offset (Hours) to 5, the Time Zone Offset to '-' (as in 5 hours before GMT), the Time Zone Offset (Minutes) to 0, and Daylight Savings Time to yes.

Unfortunately this means the time display isn't very customizable. In the comments, the time is always going to look something like @ 4:20 am (-0400 GMT). I still have to figure out how to make it easier to customize. Also I have to figure out how to have other people be able to choose what time zone they want to view the comments in.

The last change is that the friends page summary in the sidebar now shows the user who made the post.

new features, updates
